Good Win

So this is exciting! We got a win tonight. It is a different feeling than what I have been getting for the last couple weeks...
The team we played probably won't end up very high in our league. They were all a little small, but played good defense. The win is good for us to hopefully get our feet back under us and be able to start winning more. We shall see. I played a pretty good game. Jessica thought I did really good, but I felt like it was average to what I could do. I am slowly getting accustomed to the style of play and I'm starting to make a difference on our team. One thing noticeably different about our team was the roles teammates developed. Before we would have some people playing very well, and others playing very poorly to pull the rest of the team down. Tonight everyone was playing a level game. Minimizing errors, helping teammates and being positive. I felt that it really made a difference. I am hoping it will continue onto the next game and the next and so on....

So games here are different. First of all, we have a pub connected to our court that we play on so people watch the game and drink. And also the crowds are intense. There is a guy with a drum banging away and all cheering in unison. Its crazy. But it makes it a lot of fun because when we win, we do lots of cheering and singing songs in the showers. And then we go up to the pub and hangout with sponsors and the people. Its a lot of fun.

Jessica has been able to come to all the games and it has been so amazing to have her around. She comes to the practices and watches. I really appreciate her.

Tootles!
