League Game 2 Preview: Rishon Le-Zion

We play Saturday this weekend, instead of the usual Sunday game, because we get the Saturday Night TV Game over here in Israel.  It really doesn't make a whole lot of difference to us anyway, because we have already had 5 days since our last game, so we will be more than rested, and more than ready.  The team we play, Rishon Le-Zion, lost their first game of the season last weekend, but we watched 'em on tape a little bit, and they look like they have some pretty good weapons.  It says they have James Lang on their team (a 2003 McDonald's All-American teammate of Lebron) but I didn't notice him when watching the tape.  Either way, if we can win this game saturday, and start the season off with two road wins, it would be a tremendous start to the season, and it would put us in great shape going forward.  

We have had a very good week of practice so far, mainly due to people getting into shape.  I think our squad is reaching the next level because the scrimmaging in practice is improving daily, and people are playing harder, more consistently.  At tonight's practice we will mostly focus on learning as much as we can about Rishon Le-Zion to make sure we are properly prepared for the game.  I'm tryin' to catch a sweet Shabbat dinner at Tal's house after practice, but the likelihood of that happening is not so good due to the late practice.  I'ma keep my fingers crossed because the food at Tal's is amazing, and his family is even better.  I'll let you all know how the game goes tomorrow night.  And to all my people in the states, take as many pictures tonight as possible, I wanna see who has the most creative costume... and also, be safe, Halloween is a crazy night.
