Let the Games Begin! USA vs Australia

USA 89 - Australia 67.  Way to go, Team USA!


Gold Standard #11:  UNSELFISHNESS.  We’re connected.  We make the extra pass.  Our value it not measured in playing time.

Game day for the U17 World Championships has arrived.  Team USA is READY!  We play Australia this afternoon at 3:45.  Lithuania time is 8 hours ahead of Central time where my family lives.  As I type now my computer tells me it's 2:39 AM at home - 10:39 AM here.  No wonder I've been jet lagged and mixed up!

The Team had practice this morning and will have a pre-game meal around 12:30.  We played Australia in the pre-games tourney in the Canary Islands.  But all is a new start now.  We are glad to report that all team members are ready physically to play - Joel and Jabari will be great additions now.
