Update.. 8-3 in League Play

Since my last post we have played a number of games. In league play we had been on a 7 game winning streak before last week at Jerusalem. We have been playing great as a team on both ends of the floor. Our consistent defense is a big reason for the winning. We should really be on a 8 game winning streak if it weren't for a horrible collapse at the end of our last game at Jerusalem. We were up 3 points with under 10 seconds to go and we choose to foul the other team so they won't be able to tie the game. However our plan does not work.. They make the first free throw, miss the second and get the rebound and get fouled again, make the first of the two, miss the second one on purpose and tip in the rebound to go up 1 with 2 seconds to go. We try a full court throw but it comes short. What a horrible loss. During this streak we took another loss in the cup. The cup is a season long single elimination tournament played within the country. We lost the Ashkelon right before our winter break and now we are out of the cup. Next week we have a huge game against Maccabi Tel Aviv. I think it will be a good game because both of the teams are coming off losses.

On a side note.. I have been getting over a broken nose suffered 2 weeks ago. They have me wearing a mask now while playing and it really bothers court vision. I should be able to play without the mask in the next week though. I am looking forward to playing without it soon..
