First and Last Loss

For my choice blog I am writing about the disappointment of our first loss against the Cleveland Hill Golden Eagles.  More importantly the fact I have never beaten Cleve Hill in the 7 games I have played them in basketball, which dates back all the way to 7th grade.  I am very unhappy with this and with our effort against this team in the last few matches.  Honestly, I can't even tell you the last time the game has been within 10 points.  We always seem to stick with them going into halftime, sure we'll be down by a couple buckets but it always seems like were right there.  And then the margin gradually gets bigger and bigger.  Last night we were able to get it down to about 6 or 7 and we would have the ball, and the next 3 possessions would all end up in turnovers and they would score and all of a sudden the lead would be back up to 10 or 12 and the game would be out of hand.  I am very disappointed with myself and the team from this game but we are going to have to buckle down for the rest of a long season, starting with the Eden Raiders and Friday.  Eden usually isn't the best team but we always have to take a very long drive which affects our play.  Last season we played the same team, and we ended up losing the game.  A very disappointing game which from then point on out our season down the drain.  Hopefully we are able to avenge this loss and turn the Cleve Hill loss into some inspiration for the rest of the season.  We will be able to get back at Cleve Hill late in January, and we will come back for them.
