Basketball

So when I first got here, I thought I was out of shape. But I think it was just the increased elevation. I was huffing and puffing by playing a minute or two.

So last night, my coach was impressed by my play. I played horribly but he hasn't been able to give me much minutes. I also didn't think I would get to play much so I worked out prior to the game. All my shots were really short but he says I'll be getting lot more minutes. I got elbowed in the chest last night by a free arm but I was called for the hand check. I also got reverse head-butted and got busted in the mouth when I set a back pick. It's nice to know I earned a spot on a team of really athletic black guys. We got a new guy couple games ago that can tip dunk. We got some athletic people on my team.

My team is 8-2. We lost against the undefeated team (consist of all former all-army players so they're all 6ft+) by 2 points but we had a 3pt foul with no time left and he missed the first two free throws. Our other lost was against a team that we just killed by 25, but lost against them earlier because we only had 6 players. When I joined the team we had 10 so they're no longer an issue. One more month of play and we should be the champions.
