A Win, and a Loss

Folks, it was a pretty good weekend when you look at some of the adversity the team faced. The had a nightmare travel day on the way out there that saw them arriving in Bismarck, North Dakota a few hours before the game despite leaving the day before the game. The lost that first game, although they played hard, because they just didn't have the energy in my opinion to get over the hump.

Yesterday saw them playing a much better game and the team was able to get the split with Dakota. Darnell Lazare was a beast in the middle with 26 points and 8 boards. Wayne Chism continues to improve his play for the team with 13 points and 11 boards. Chris Kramer had a great game with 17 points on 5 of 6 shooting, and Rod Wilmont really set a great tone with his defensive effort.

Walker Russell, Jr. had his usual stellar performance with 24 points and 8 assists, but we also received some bad news about Walker after the game. Walker got a great offer to go and play in China, and the money was just too good for him to pass up. Tough loss for us, but good for Walker and his family. I am currently working on bringing in someone to help with this loss. I will update the blog as soon as possible when and if something happens.
