2 out of 3 ain't bad.

We have played ourt first games of the tour with a 2 from 3 winning ratio. Early this morning the tour party made their way to the College of Syskiyou - the college in which our Head Coach, Stephen Blackley, attended for two years - for a one hour training session. The boys enjoyed themselves with the use of the gymnasium and a full tour of the college after their training session being the highlight. We also had a trip to the college shop for some memorabilia. Then the students went back to the hotel to pack for their games. The Junior Varsity team went to Etna High School for their tournament and ended up beating Wyeda 54 points to 29. The home ground were stunned and this now puts the team in to the semi-final with tomorrow. The Freshman team then played their game and they beat Dunsmuir, after being down by 4 points with a minute to go, by 2 points, 47 to 45. Then it was up to the Senior Varsity boys to make a clean sweep of the day's games but unfortunately they lost to the local Mount Shasta boys, 44 to 57. The local tv station and newspaper were there to record all the action. I will send the link through in the coming days for you to have a look at. Then  after the game the students were billeted out to their host families. 2 boys went with each host family and the boys were very excited after making several close friends throughout the day when they visited some classes between games at Mount Shasta High. Tomorrow will be another set of games and I will update you as they scores come to hand.
