First Week

We played our first summer league game and tournament last week.

On Tuesday we lost all of our games but competed hard. We were a little short on players but the guys who showed up played extremely hard and got some good experience. We clearly need to have more focus on defense and work to get quality shots. Defensive intensity is always hard during the summer because most guys like to score and make highlight moves. We are also trying to get some guys to adapt to their new roles as we move forward without the 11 seniors who are now gone.

We play St. Anthony and Trinity this Tuesday at 6:00 and 6:50.

We also had our first tournament of the summer at Bethel University over the weekend. I was not present on Saturday because of and out of town commitment. Coach Tisel took on the task of coaching and told me it was very similar to what happened on Tuesday. Our defense struggled and we didn't have our full compliment of players. Everyone played and worked hard but we just couldn't compete with Prior Lake, Waconia and Chisago Lake. Although we are taking our lumps right now the guys who are showing up are getting better every game. Hopefully we can get things together before the Tubby Smith Tournament at the end of the month.

Open Gym every Monday and Thursday at 4:00-5:30
