Won by 12!
ABA Strumica had a football basketball game last night. It was freezing cold in the gym. We guessed about 35 F. Pregame warm-ups had double meaning We played Kumanovo. ABA Strumica dominated the first half and held on tight for the second. Play was incredibly aggressive. A couple of our guys got injured; Zolke got a sprained wrist and Bobby a facial injury (not quite sure the extent of it). Our post guy, John Chappell, was pushed up and down the court. I'm not one to be known for how observant I am, but even I noticed how bad it was. The Kumanovo fans were equally as aggressive. They had a big drum and were chanting the whole game. Court-side fans tried to spit on the players when they came near. It was a zoo! Andrew played a great game though. The team played together as well as they have all year.

So did you warm up with them too? ;-) I can just see you all bundled, cheering Andrew on. Goodwork Andrew! Love you two!
ReplyDeleteI was completely bundled...2 pairs of socks, long johns, 3 shirts and a winter coat, scarf, stocking cap, and mittens. We could see our breath! Unfortunately, I had to keep my cheering to a minimum for fear of getting mobbed...or spit on. :)
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the days when I beat a drum at Seth's basketball games. I really enjoyed that drum! Until I got forbidden. Oh well, I never spit on anyone, at least!
