Big turnout tonight! 12 guys showed up! A handful of them are back from college and just working for a few weeks at the store to make some money. We split into 4 teams of 3 ... you play one team (to 11, win by 2) and then both winners play each other for the championship (while the other 2 teams play in the “Consolation Bracket”).

My team took the first game 11-2 .... I shot ok - my main strength has always been defense. Put me on the best player (relative to my height!) and I’ll do my best to try and shut them down. Worked well that first game, then the second game got physical .....

Pretty even match for the championship game. They had one shooter who could drain 3’s so easily ... I was guarding him. They immediately jump out to a 5-0 lead (my guy I was covering hit 2 3’s.. or 2’s I guess). I know this guy fairly well at CFA, so I say to him “I guarantee you won’t make another shot!”

All of a sudden, my teams flips the switch and we just lock in. Start clawing our way back .... take a 6-5 lead and then, man, both our teams were fighting for every point - it was aggressive defense - I loved it.

We knock down a few 2’s ... it’s game point for us. All the while, my guy has gone cold - shooting 0 for 10 after I made that promise to him. They try and close the gap, 10-8, but we hit the last shot to take the W. Super fun! I love Friday night b-ball with team members.
