It was a stat rat’s weekend at the Texas A&M tournament this weekend. The SC offense came out bangin’ mad G’s scoring 18,16, 11; in our games against Kansas, Baylor, and A&M respectively. Our defense put in even more effort than our offense. The D killed all kinds of man-down situations. Yes, we’re still having problems with penalties. But the average is slowing dropping. So that’s a plus. Honestly though, I think the MCLA just needs to add some flexibility to the rules to account for our beastitude.
Kase Lawal topped off the weekend with an OT game winner against Texas A&M; and it was almost too perfect. Only a few minutes into OT Kase had the ball at the top of the box and we all knew what was coming. The stars had aligned: it was his home state, his parents were at the game, he’s a captain, he’s a senior, and he has the dirtiest split dodge on the team. Just about everyone on the SC sidelines had their hands in the air before Kase even shot. It was a great way to wrap up the weekend.
As for Texas itself, we have all been pleasantly surprised by what the Great State has to offer. Unfortunately, the weather was a little cooler than we had hoped for. So the only usage of Daisy Dukes was kept secret. The sun was definitely out, though. Half of our team looks like stop signs. We all needed to start our spring-break base anyway.
A special thanks goes out to all the parents and relatives of the team that fed us to point of explosion. We all appreciate the hospitality so much. I think we can attribute the wins this weekend to being so well nourished. Thank you.
