So, we won our first game, 79-66 against Seminario in the first game of the Pre-Season Tournament.
We had a very balanced scoring effort. We started building a lead in the first quarter and never relinquished the lead. My star guard gutted through a stomach virus and came up with a strong performance, 12 points and 8 assists. His backcourtmate was also steady with 13 points and 11 boards. My American import wing showed off some hot shooting to lead the scoring with 21. And my starting center scored 15 points and grabbed 8 boards. Dirk had a quiet night but grabbed 11 boards. We had some guys come off the bench and produce a bit.
Seminario had been playing possum. They signed an American guy who just obtained his residency; he's 6'9' and lanky but also getting up there in age. He played for a year at NC State under Sendek before transferring away. Has played pro ball all over the world over 20 years and was our league MVP two years ago. Still, its a new team for him and I could tell they nee to work some things out. Their star guard dropped 27 points. They were missing one of their American guards who was out with a back injury, but since we were so short handed think we were more than even.
Next game will be against Roswell (the construction company), who also won their first game. They hav three American guys and some good young players.
