Summer Ball

The Patriots won the summer league and were top seeds in the playoffs but we got knocked out by an inferior team we had beaten three times in the last 9 months. They were hitting everything and we had a ref determined to get Sam out of the game with fouls. Both things combined to sink us 58-55. It was a shame but it was only summer league and we were missing a key player.

The boys played hard the entire game and while disappointed, they held together well. I almost lost it when the other teams coach questioned my integrity (claiming I was't marking fouls correctly) while keeping the score book but I forced him to apologize which he wasn't thrilled about but he realized he had no choice. He's a jackass.

At this point we are in basketball hiatus until September which is good. They need a little break before practices start again in a month and games begin in November.
