Really?

Well first off Sorry this is onto Sunday's blog post, but tonight was a long night. Tonight we played a home game against a Class 2A school. I think that they thought they would just come into Judah Christian School and beat up on some small Class A school and get a easy win. Well that didnt happen. It was one of the most physical games Ive ever been apart of. Seems The refs couldnt blow their whistles when they needed to and when they did blow them, no one could understand why. Long story short, we only ended up losing 1 tooth and some bruises, but let this serve notice to anyone who thinks that they are just going to come into Judah Christian and bully us , Its not going to happen. We are going to play just as hard if not harder and we will protect our Homecourt.

On a side note for the Coach of the other team, who for their sake i wont post here, lemme set you straight on the record, I know you know we are a GREAT team, but we are only 15-0 at home, but thanks, we will be 16-0 after the next home game we play. So before you want to get all loud and say that the only reason we are 16-0 at home is because our fans defend our players, take a close look at what our record really is. And yes I will look at the film and see what players went onto the court, but when i do that ill make sure to send you a personal copy of the incident where your player not only kicked my player but also pushed another one to the ground.

As you can tell im still fired up about this game. I hate it when teams think we are just going to roll over and play dead.

Great Wins Guys and I did this all in purple for Judah. Go Tribe!!!

ps- This game was posted online, if anyone can find it could you let me know ? Thanks

Hmm.....

Well im not really sure what im going to talk about tonight. Seems some of the other siblings either A) got busy this week, to busy to blog or B) just didnt blog..lol Either way its Saturday night and that means your stuck with me. Thats right, what a way to end the week but with me , right? LOL Well its all in good fun and as im even typing this im not sure what im going to actually write about. Sure basketball season has started and our first game is monday, Thanksgiving is also this week, Guess i could write what i am thankful for, but nothing is clicking really.

Well i think im going to talk about a friend of mine. This just isnt any ordinary friend to say the least. I met her for the first time this summer while doing basketball camps. You never think that your going to make friends while teaching the game of basketball to those who are from 5th grade up to 8th grade but i did. After the first few days and spending hours and hours in the gym shooting with her and teaching her how to shoot better, it just seems we clicked and that was that. She spent countless hours in the gym, even her mom would show up and she would still wanna stay. (To bad i cant get the Varsity bball players to stay like that )

I dont even know how many hours we spent on the court just shooting and talking life, I think looking back it was more about the talking about life that we enjoyed more so then the basketball. Basketball was just the thing that got us to that point. At that time i was even wondering why i was coaching or if i was even doing a good job.

After having her come back for 3 weeks in a row to be taught and to learn, i knew i was doing the right thing and that i was suppose to continue to coach and teach life lessons to those as well.

The reason I bring her up, she doesnt know im writing about her, thats why im not using her name, but her mom will know who i am talking about. But a day before the basketball season was to start for the girls, i found out that she wasnt going to play. My first thought was "what???" Are you kidding me??? You put all that time in and you are going to be one of the better shooters and your not going to play???.

I think we were both kinda nervous when we did get the chance to talk about why she decided not to play basketball and to do cheerleading instead. She was worried that i would be upset because of all the time we spent in the gym and what not. But i wasnt. The more we talked about it and how she just wanted something different, something for her. The more i agreed with her. She was truely doing something that she wanted to do and it was because she wanted to do it. How many freshman girls do you know that will say " no, im not gonna do this, im going to do this because i want to, not because someone else wants me to"? I cant think of any right now. She amazes me because she isnt phased by peer-pressure where as so many who are freshman, just wanna fit in and she went her own route. If only more girls her age could see that you can do whatever you want, dont fall into the traps that are set and dont think that you cant change your mind if you dont want to do something.

I know it also helps that she has amazes parents who have supported her in everything she has done. She is an amazes girl and i know that People will follow her as she gets older cause they will want what she has.

Well thats my blog for the week, to sum it up, if you dont wanna go with the flow, then dont, Be true to yourself and that will truely make you happy. Until next week i hope to tell you that my bball team is 4-0 and that we had a great thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

Ill leave you with this video for the week

Fair or not?

So ever since I read this article (it wasn't this exact one, the one I read had more detail to the actual contact in the street) I just don't know if I agree with Coach or not. I think that there should be consequences but I don't * think * he should be kicked off the team. Apparently he punched the guys because they spit on him. I understand that as a team player, especially for U of I he should be held at a higher standard and not start fights and get involved with them, but when someone spits on you??? I think I would have done the same thing... I'm sure this is going to get a lot of attention and people are going to speak out on this!

Happy Hump Day!!
(I think we're missing a few posts... mmhmm Han and Dave lol)

Triple Threat

Well Its my time again. It is Officailly 11:50 pm on a Saturday night. Here I am home for the first night since Thursday. The Link I have enclosed is Regulators by Warren G. Prolly the first rap song i knew by heart and today it is still a hit. Well i have many topics to discuss tonight so lets just dive right in.



Im going to write this topic in Purple. You might ask why and the reason is Thats the Color for Domestic Violence. Its been an interesting week for me in the sense of this topic. I found out a friend of mine, who happen to also be my Prof. last semester had finally decided to leave her husband because he had been physically, verbally and emotionally abusing her. I felt so bad for her when she finally said something about it. I felt bad because I knew something was up when we first started class and I just couldnt put my finger on it. Something just didnt add up when she was telling us about how life used to be and how she got to where she was. I was conflicted because as a student do i say anything or not? Maybe i should have and maybe i shouldnt have. In the end she made the best descion she could have. She sought help. At first she was weary because she felt like everyone would think bad of her or tell her she should of left sooner. The best you can do is support them in their descions and when they have finally had enough they will make their choice to leave and will need all of the help they can get. She has been surprised at how many women have said " that happened to me too so many years ago". Its so sad to me that women get with the man of their dreams only to find out that they are Docter Jeykal in Mr. Hydes body. My heart does go out to her , but she is a strong woman and i know she will be able to do it for her and her precious little daughter.

This paragraph will be in red. This will be for my other friend this week who also decided enough was enough and told her boyfriend to go after he had been caught again using drugs. Of course some will say , well she should stay for support and to help him. The best help this man can get is to get into a rehad clinic. I dont blame her. We actually had a talk about this guy before she started dating him. He said all the right things and said he had been clean and what not. You get the point. Well she gave him a chance and he screwed it up, she then said ok one more chance and he blew that too.( no pun intended) She is in the process of moving out and i commend her for taking a stand. Enough is enough with both abuse and drug abuse. Not only does she have to worry about herself, but she too has a daughter that she needs to look out for. So i commend her once again for making the right choice and saying" Im better then this" and moving on in her life.

I guess i will go blue with the final paragraph/topic of my triple threat. That is on Monday Highschool Boys Basketball starts. Im beyond excited for 6 am. I know right, your thinking he is nuts. Maybe i am but i also know that some of these kids have put in over 100 hours in the gym this summer and im going to make sure it pays off for them. They are excited and we have high hopes for this years basketball team. We want to be Regional Champs this year and i believe we can do it. We will have the best backcourt in the area and one of the most dominate Big men and he is only a Sophmore.

Finally, I wouldnt be a gamer if i didnt mention that on Tuesday morning at 12:01 am another great game will be for sale. Warning *now, if you have a husband, boyfriend, fiance or just some guy friends you prolly wont hear from them for atleast a week or so *

So that is my Warning for all of you. Who dont play the game. Ill be online for the PS3 and My name is XxDeadlyCamperxX . If you think your Good come and we will just have to find out.

So its been a busy week and to wrap things up or i guess to sum them up. If you or someone you know if in an Abusive relationship, continue to be there friend and encourage them to get out of that kind of relationship. They may hate you at the time, but when they decide for themselves they will need all of the support they can get. So dont give up on them!

Hope everyone has a Great week and I will talk to you all next Saturday.

Well I Started this...

On Saturday night, but by the time i post this it will be Sunday. We all seem to be alittle off on our days. Hopefully we can do a better job of getting out our blogs this week. With 7 different people things happen and well what can we say? Only missed one this week, so not bad.

This week was a slow week overall. Nothing to major came up or was even worth while really. Of course as i say that someone will forsure send me a message saying that i forgot about this or that happening, but oh well it happens. As I look back over the week im glad its done, one less week of school and 1 week closer to basketball season starting. Life always has an interesting way of doing things. I dont think looking back i would of ever thought that I would be coaching an high school boys basketball team. But I am and I enjoy it alot. I think more then even coaching i like to see kids succeed in playing basketball. Whether it male or female its great to see them finally get it! Thus i am sure that where ever i end up in life i will always be coaching. First day of Practice is Nov. 8th and i can't wait for it to start.

Well im going to keep this short this week. Hope everyone has a great week and its always good when family comes home and we get to have the late night chats that Ashley mentioned in her blog.

Happy Birthday to Katie! Hope its a great one

Until next week , everyone be safe and remember you can follow us on Facebook as well as on here .
