Friendly Game against BG Hagen

Well we just had another game against BG Hagen. They are a team that is in a league higher than us. I believe this team was all Germans they played a lot more uptempo than the other team that we played. They were small but quick and everyone on their team shot 3s just like the rest of europe. I got called for a few travels two on dunks and sometimes I think they just make calls up. What can you do. Its tough to get used to the Euro step too. I am starting to get it down though.

We jumped out to a quick lead and held between a 15 and 30 point lead most of the game. The team is playing well and our coach Ivan says we are now the favorite to win the league because of our last two games. Who knows?

Link to the article about the game, the paper comes out tomorrow so they may have another article:

the slash in the box score means 3s made

The season starts this saturday so we have practice all week to get prepared.

Hey Trev,
We finally got around to getting the blog address, weve been pestering your mom for info, now we can look for ourselves. It sounds like you're fitting in real good, glad to hear it. We went to the FB game on fri, wow is it going to be a long season for the boys, I hope they are able to win at least a game or two.... Busack had his moments at QB, but is going to need some protection to get anything productive done.
Take it easy on the fouls, try not to be the first one to foul see if that helps keep the ref's from focusing on you.. Sometimes at the start of the game they seem to call the little thing to set the tempo. Well gotta run. Keep working hard.
Kelly is starting back to school another tough year of internet surfing. She says hi and good luck.
Later,
Nate
