1. A staff member said pick-up games for the balance of the month will be played at the Heskitt Center. Volleyball camps will be held in Koch Arena for the balance of the month.
Pick-up games will begin next Monday, July 14 and games will be played on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Start time for the games is 3:30 P.M.
I took his comments to mean that there will not be any pickup games on Thursday and Friday of this week. Disclaimer: I could be wrong about this point.
I am sure about the first three paragraphs above. However, there is not any absolute certainty about the pick-up games.
2. The team ran the mile today. The team was divided into two groups. I think everybody ran it in 6:20 or less. I might be off a few ticks.
Ray Murry ran it in 5:02, which was just off Matt Braeuer's 4:58 record. If Ray had not eased up, he might have broken Matt's record.
Everybody finished. Aaron struggled mightily.
3. The team played pickup after rest.
4. There are so many good players on the team, the competition in practices will be spirited. Credit Cowboy for this observation.
5. I sure wish all of you had the opportunity to watch them play. You would be amazed at the athleticism, skill and depth.
6. I have finally figgered out what happened to Ramon. Ramon is not actually playing. It is his twin brother, Rambo.
7. I really had a nice up close look at Ray Murry today. (His teammates call him Ray and I do not know how to spell Toure.) I am starting to understand the reason Coach Marshall is so high on him. He is a smooth operator.
8. We have two point guards and I am not sure there is a lot of difference between the two players - Reggie and Clevin.
9. There was a player there today, who I have not seen before. He is about 6-3 or 4. He is a terrific traffic player. Very strong. His pants were identical to those of Reggie from Plano - red with a bold black side stripe.
They might have been high school teammates. He was fun to watch. High energy.
10. Cowboy observed that he hopes the Shockers are a good free throw shooting team next season because the Shockers are going to draw a lot of fouls.
A guy can learn a lot by sitting with and listening to Cowboy.
11. A.J. comes to practice early every day and works on his ball handling skills. He has one technique, which I have never seen before and I hope some learned poster can educate me.
For some of the drills, A.J. wears gloves. They look like garden variety, cotton gloves, not leather. For some drills, he wears gloves. For other drills, he does not wear gloves.
12. Next season, I predict we will run, run, run, run and then run some more.
13. I am not sure how Coach Marshall is going to find minutes for all the players.
14. In the interest of redundacy, you are gonna love the point guards.
15. Today's games were played on one of the practice courts.
Pick-up games will begin next Monday, July 14 and games will be played on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
