Score: LCA 34 - Roxbury Latin 33. Boy, was it ugly. I don't know that I've ever experienced a game quite like the one LCA played last night.
Second half scoring? LCA 13 - RL 9. We didn't score for the last four minutes. Four minutes! I would like to say that both teams just played exceptional defense, but I can't. Both teams shot below 30 percent. We were 1-for-18 on 3-pointers. Ouch. But you know what, it gave us our first win, and a W is a W (unless it's a UU). And after a tough loss on Monday to Chapel Hill (52-49), we needed something encouraging. So here we go at 1-2 on the season with St. Sebastian's, a very good team, coming in on Tuesday. Bring your kneepads and peach baskets everybody; it could get Naismith-like real quick.

Season Opener
I'm coaching basketball again this winter at Lexington Christian Academy. The AD and coach from last year left after the school year to take a position in Miami, so there is a new AD and coach this year. He's young like me, so we're most definitely the youngest coaching staff in the league.
Anyway, we had our first game of the season tonight and lost to a school in southern Rhode Island, Portsmouth Abbey, 53-40. We didn't shoot well at all and I think our guys are still getting used to the new offensive system. I'm excited to be back into another season and competing again, even if it is from the bench. As it was last year, I'm sure this season will be full of ups and downs, but here's to there being more ups than downs.

Driving home...
On my way home from work today, I had to stop at just about every stop light between Cambridge and Arlington. It was not enjoyable at all, but it did allow me to see something I'd never noticed before. Just before Rt. 16 (Cambridge-Arlington line), there was a building sign for a cosmetic dentist. On it was the dentist's slogan -- "We Cater to Cowards."
I'm sure that's supposed to be comforting and all for people with "dental anxiety." But does anyone really see that and think "Hey, I'm a coward! That must be the place for me!"
