This evening marked the end of the second day of practice for the LCA boys' basketball team. Both days have gone well. We've had close to 30 boys come out for the team, so unfortunately, for the first time in the tenure of the head coach, Mr. Heintz, we are going to have cuts. These two days, we three coaches have spent our time surveying the field to see what areas the guys are not so good in and what areas they are. This has also sped up the process of getting to know their names.
Once we do get the final teams set, it looks like we'll have some solid squads. I'm looking forward to these try-out practices being over so I can actually get to know the kids I'll be working with and so that we can jump into the meat of what we'll be doing this year. So far, we've just been doing drills and scrimmaging.
As a team activity, the varsity is going to the Mercer vs. Harvard game on Friday evening. I'm looking forward to that as well, as Mercer knocked off USC last week. Coach Heintz knows the Mercer coach and Harvard is a local university so it's just as helpful to us to make an appearance.
Well, tomorrow brings about day three. I may have to practice my whistle-blowing before I get there. My first shot at it today was not all that impressive. Later, folks.
