Last week was one of mixed emotions for me. One Wednesday the team played Puerto Rico Mayaguez. The team played very well. Hans Schur had a big scoring night, dropping 25 points, while Michael Baptiste had a huge night off the bench scoring 17 points and providing a much needed spark. Coach McMillin moved to 4-0 against Puerto Rico Mayaguez.

Thursday was Thanksgiving, as I’m sure you know. I started the day off with practice. Then afterwards, we as a team went to dinner at Legal Seafood, then after we got back to school, I went to my cousin’s grandmothers for another dinner. I had an amazing meal of turkey, this special cornbread, and sweet potatoes with marshmellows on top! After i left I didn’t think I could eat for days.

Friday we had a morning practice, then I watched the Arkansas-LSU game, or the Battle for the Golden Boot. It was an amazing game. Darren McFadden had a huge day, so did Peyton Hillis and Felix Jones. I screamed for joy so loud when Mattarel Richardson picked off the pass in the back of the end zone to end the game. As soon as the game was over, my dad and I were on the phone talking about the game and how great it was.

Saturday we played Christian Brothers. We started off great, keeping their offense at bay for a majority of the game. At the end of the game, their offense started to click and the hit a fade-away three pointer with 6 seconds left in the game. Randy Jones just missed a long distance three pointer at the buzzer.

 Due to Randy’s performance last week, he was named the Lynn Male Athlete of the Week.

 Well, have a good week and live life to the fullest.
