Gustie Alumni Game

On Saturday I was able to try to play in the annual Gustie alumni vs JV basketball game. I was unable to play last year due to coaching 9th grade. I was excited to play this year but a little nervous about who would show up for the big game. We had seven total players and four of the seven actually played on varsity for much of their college careers. One player still goes to school at Gustavus and another player was the student assistant coach her last two years of college.

So needless to say, we lost terribly. Until Saturday, we have never lost since I graduated from Gustavus. Not only did we lose but we got annihilated by more than 20 points. I think I shot about 6% from the field but it didn't keep me from shooting a lot!

Mickey thanked me after the game and said it was nice to have the JV finally put a game together. They haven't played that well all year and haven't shot that well either. I am glad we could help the JV gain some confidence!

Well the only thing I really have to show for the game is a nicely jammed ring finger. Charlie can vouch for the aches and pains I felt on Sunday. It was difficult to move, bend over, or laugh due to the sore muscles. Apparently basketball uses different muscles than I am used to using in my post-college years. Here is a picture to prove the accident:


Thank you to Jill, Larry, Annie, Miles, and Charlie for watching an ugly game. I appreciated the fans! Miles was smart and slept through most of the game. He knew it wasn't much to watch. :)
