Yellow Fever had our first practice yesterday night and it worked out pretty well. We had 10 that showed up and actually had an extra (making it 11) that wasn't on the team. We ran a few drills, practiced personal skill and did some offense/defense plays and I think as a group we picked up quite a bit of knowledge from Tim and Mike M. (our basketball gurus) in an hour and a half session. We ended off the night with a 20 minute game of full-court action, and wow was it ever intense. When we finished we pretty much collapsed on the side lines. It was very nice seeing Andrew out there last night and I eagerly anticipating him being on the lineup this Wednesday night for our game.
Our game will not be an easy one as we are playing the first place team in our division. This team beat the first team that we played this season pretty badly. And if that first team we played beat us badly, then I really don't know what to expect tomorrow. Though I think as a team we have improved greatly from that first game.
For us to be succesful tomorrow:
-We have to play a tough defensive game and get all the rebounds both offensively and defensively.
-We have to put into play what we learned last night (offensively/defensively).
-And lastly I believe the key to winning will be decided with how patient we are when we have possession of the ball. This means no panic shots.
Go Yellow Fever Go!!!!!!!
