First Start as a Pro... Win Gets the Team Back on Track...

Last Sunday's game against Kiryat Ata was good for a number of reasons.  After losing three games in a row, we really needed a win to get back on track, and fortunately for us... we did.  We played some inspired ball, as the guys realized that losing again would really have put us in a precarious position.  The team we played is one of the teams at the bottom of our league, so maybe experiencing success against them was just what we needed going forward.

After playing the last 20 minutes of the Nahariya game the week before, and having another real good week of practice, I was in the starting lineup against Kiryat Ata.  I was proud to have the opportunity to start, and it made me happy that my hard work and continued improvement got me the opportunity!  Hopefully it is a trend that continues, as I am getting used to playing, and I don't want that to stop!

This week we play another team that is fighting for a playoff spot in Givat Schmuel.  They are a young, pretty talented team, and another good effort from our team will be needed!
