LaGrange and we made it to Cali...

The trip yesterday went great. It certainly was an early morning after a long day. Saturday was certainly sweetened after a good win over LaGrange. Both teams were sluggish the day after exams, but hey, it is a win!!! Tim Miles got his first double double of his career and has told most people he has seen out here in Cali :)!We finished the game in the right fashion by making big free throws and getting a few consecutive stops. We need to find a way to start putting up some more points as the season continues.

We made it out yesterday without a hitch. The guys were so excited. It was fun to see them and their faces getting ready to land out here. I have said it so many times, but we have a wonderful group of guys that I am proud to coach. After we landed we got the vans, got through baggage claim, and got checked into the hotel. The hotel is a little dated, but it has a beautiful courtyard area that will be fun to hang out in. We just chilled out at the hotel for a couple hours and got a little rest. We ran to "Old Town" San Diego last night for a authentic Mexican meal. It was awfully good. We discussed the promotional path that Proteage is going to take over the next few years. They are currently in "K mart", "Super K mart" and "Special K mart". It really is comical listening to Tim and Kendall discuss their fantasy world...

We need to have a good day of preparation for the game tomorrow and get them to think about basketball for a few hours today, while still enjoying the beautiful area out here.

We are so blessed to have the chance to get out here and see new places. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Schulte's today. Michael will join us tomorrow morning.

Congrats to the women's team for a big win on Saturday vs. Maryville.
