8:30 pm: HEADS UP! Just got word that OTB is inviting us to play in their one-day tournament on Saturday, 1:00-9:00 pm at Palolo Gym. Age group 15-17. At first, we were just going to play a single game (to fill in, free). But now we could play in their round-robin format, about 4 or 5 games (in one day), $150. Who's ready for some basketball? Teams so far are OTB, Open Court, Mid-Pac, maybe Lanakila and us. There's another team (forget already). I NEED A HEAD COUNT so we have enough guys to play a lot of games. Gonna need more than just seven or eight.
Update, 9:45 pm: It's official, we're in OTB's tournament. Here's our schedule:
2:45 pm vs. Kapolei
4:15 pm vs. Mid-Pacific
6:30 pm vs. Open Court
8:00 pm vs. OTB
Team fee is $200. He had to raise the price to add another game, he said. It's a fair price. If you do the math, the cost of a game for a team is $50 (expenses for rental of the gym, two referees). If you are playing, please bring $10 to help defray the cost. I don't want to go broke, but I don't mind paying half the cost. If 10 guys bring $10 each, that's $100.
Though Coach Tes (OTB) has a 15-17 age group rule, he said we can bring our younger players as long as they're up to snuff. In other words, they better be able to hang. I assured him that they are.
Again, I need a head count. Who's coming Saturday?
I have to work until 5:30. Coach Larry's busy working all day. So, Coach Roy will be there (hopefully) and Coach Moe (Max's dad) is stepping up to coach you guys. This is working out pretty sweet. I LUB THIS GAME.
