Two Big Days

The boys have enjoyed an action packed two days in Anaheim thus far. On Thursday we were fortunate enough to be the team fan tunnel at the Los Angeles Clippers game. Basically as the Clippers ran out on the floor our boys formed a line on one side and high-fived the players as they ran onto the court. We overheard the boys mention not washing the hand touched by the likes of Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, but we will see!

To add to the excitement the man of the moment Josh Houwen was interviewed by the Clippers DJ and that was posted live to the Jumbo screens at the stadium to loud applause. It was a a great game filled with highlight plays!

Today we faced off with Rio Hondo Prep. The gym is new and very impressive! Unfortunately the JV boys let their counterparts get out to an early 8-0 lead, and never recovered from that point. Notwithstanding some jet-lagged turnovers, the boys would have been extremely close and can hang their hat on some gritty plays throughout the game.

The varsity boys were keen to avoid a repeat of our first sluggish start and came out with fire and intensity. The game was close throughout the four quarters, with our lead out to a maximum of 10 points before a comeback was eminent. To their credit all boys on the floor were aggressive and looking to make plays. TC was victorious in its first game and broke the dreaded first game jet lag result! Dinner with Rio Hondo afterwards was a highlight, with our boys taking the opportunity to interact with the players and coaches from Rio Hondo.

Well done to both teams.

More to come!
