Speed Work

We just got an Internet upgrade so it is something like 5 times faster than what we have so I feel the need to type fast and think fast in run-on sentences to demonstrate my speed work!

Whew! That's too exhausting! Plus I really can't move fast after sitting on the bleachers the last 3+ hours.

Carter had a home game this evening against St. Pete's (from Stevens Point). It started out as a pretty close game but somehow we ran away with it and won 54-39. When we have a good lead, the second string gets more playing time so Carter got to play quite a bit. That's good. He needs more practice and more confidence.

Tonight he definitely was not afraid. He put up the ball 3 times -- was 0 for 3 but he was trying. He also had 3 fouls so I guess he is getting a bit more aggressive. Now he just needs to keep it legal.

After his game, we went directly over to the high school and watched the varsity boys take on Port Edwards. We fell behind immediately and at one point we were down 22-13. But somehow, with some speed work of their own, we got the ball back, the lead back and a win! A big win -- 71-57! What a fun game!

We told Carter he missed a good one. Oh he was there alright, but spent the entire game in the cafeteria with 3 girls.

I don't even want to know about that speed work! Not at all!
