Practice, practice, practice

The boys headed out mid-morning to get in a good, solid practice.  It was another scorching hot day today but getting a good night's rest definitely showed.  The boys are just about back to their normal play despite the heat and thin air.

The boys showed stamina, speed and good ball movement.  We have one last practice tomorrow before our first game on Monday.  The boys are looking good - we hope for a good showing in pool play.

After practice, the boys headed out for a pizza lunch at Dion's which is a couple miles away from our hotel.  Dion's was named 2nd best pizza in Albuquerque in 1978 - not satisfied with being 2nd best, since then, they have been voted several times over as the best pizza in Albuquerque.  I think this is symbolic for the Cyclones, we will continue to strive to be the best we can be - as a team as well as an individual contributor.  We parents and coaches are very proud of our boys, not only for their accomplishments but for the wonderful young men they are growing up to be.  Go Cyclones!
