After all these weeks of looking forward to outside competition, we're now faced with playing the Mililani Rebelz tomorrow (Sunday) with half our team missing. We should still have five Thunder players available, so we'll be able to play. It's just too bad we don't have our best lineup to face one of the better teams on the island.
Out
> Eliet is in Japan
> Blake is resting all week
> Mike, Kevin grounded (academics)
> Tai is at a football-related, mandatory event all day in Waikiki
That means Colby, Josh, Cody, Randon and Keanu are left. Lots of minutes for all!
Our two inactive guys on the roster, Shiraz and Dru, are welcome to play. Shiraz came to our last couple of practices and is jazzed about playing tomorrow. He's a hard worker and I'm glad he's enthusiastic about the game he loves. Dru is busy with football, so I don't really expect him to make it. But you never know. He's been on the roster since mid-summer, before he decided to play football, and he intends to play with us in the spring leagues, so this could be kind of a head start.
Originally, I asked Greydon, the CAL director, if we could line up an outside team instead of playing another league team again, especially when it won't count in the standings. Now I'm just going to be happy if we don't forfeit the game. I want us to play well, but you need five players to start a game, so...
Game is 12:50 p.m. We'll meet at 12:15. Should be fun, guys, should be fun.
