N Your Court Dominates

The N Your Court 5th grade AAU team rode on the shoulders of practically every player, as a team effort powered the team to 3 victories and a championship in the San Jose tournament.

Patrick had 10, Ravi had 6, Will had 4, Thomas and Justin had 3, and Vignesh and Baily had 2. Everyone scored at least 5 total points during the tournament. N Your Court won 37-18 over Team Hoop.

The team scored 63 in the semis against the South Bay Scholars, and Baily had a career-high 18, while Ravi scored 12. Baily averaged 9.3 points per game during the tournament, while Ravi and Patrick averaged 7+ PPG.

With Thomas, Justin, Patrick and Ravi picking up 6 free throws and some nice jumpers, the team overcame a 7-5 deficit and took a 21-10 lead early in the second half. The lead went up to 17 after a 3 point play by Patrick, and down to 11. However, 2 buckets by Will (his only 2 of the game) helped the team finish off Team Hoop smoothly.

Sean scored 10 and 6 for the club in the first 2 games, and he led the team in the 18 point win over Titan in the quarterfinal. Jaeden and Lake were absent for the tourney.

The 18, 19, and 43 point wins lifted the teams spirits and has them looking good for the season.

NYC is now 5-4. I struggled in our last tourney, but Will and Jaeden stepped up, and the club managed to take home two victories, both over the Jackson All-Stars of Salinas, CA. I led the team in scoring in our opening victory, Jaeden in our second and final game, and Will in our loss to Ramtown Reign. Next tourney next weekend, in San Jose!

The Script - That Is, the Revised Script - Had This Super Bowl Matchup All Along

Image
Screenwriter Goodell has done it again! It's admittedly not the script I saw written in the stars - or rather in the combination of the NFL's Super Bowl logo and a Memphis radio station's (now) false advertising. The best explanation is that not even Goodell could have foreseen the Taylor Swift effect - and called in the cast midseason to push the Chiefs' Super Bowl hangover back one more year at Baltimore's expense. When the Harbaugh family threatened to sue, he called in a favor to the NCAA - and Jalen Milroe - to have Jim pocket the family's due 2023 ring. And then, to give big bro the upper hand, inflicted Jim with the worst curse in all of sports - that of the LA Chargers. Equilibrium is restored. It looked like the revised script was about to bring the 49ers down too in favor of the bookended schedule Super Bowl that Jake Marsh wanted to see so badly - the same kickoff game and championship game matchup. The thought crossed my mind as a minor consolation i

A's Fall To White Sox On Walk-Off Home Run

Image
In late innings, the Oakland Athletics are almost unstoppable. However, Jordan Danks found a way to stop the A's. Danks hit a home run to right with two outs in the ninth to propel the White Sox to a 4-3 win over the A's. Both teams are competing in the AL Wild Card race, so the loss is crucial for the A's, who received a solid outing from Brandon McCarthy in his return from the DL. McCarthy allowed three earned runs in six-plus innings pitched, and the two teams were tied after seven innings. Both teams received solid efforts from the bullpen, but the White Sox triumphed at the end. Dayan Viciedo, A.J Pierzynski and Alexi Ramirez also homered, all taking advantage of mistakes by McCarthy. McCarthy gave Ramirez a meatball in the fourth, and he hit it deep to left field. Viciedo and Pierzynski both hit outside pitches into the seats for the White Sox. With the game tied at three, submariner Pat Neshek delivered a pitch. Catcher George Kottaras wanted it away, but Nes

Taking My Talents Back to Baily's Sports and Stuff...And My Thoughts on Al Davis vs the NFL

I've recently gotten captivated by the practice of journaling - generally on my own thoughts that I notice and how I feel at various moments. This has been a transformative practice in my personal life in enabling me to be more honest with myself (which is really hard!) - whether that be about discomfort I feel, what conditions provide a state of flow, or anything in between. The ability to document my life on paper - and go back and read what resonated with me at a particular point in time - has been a similarly great practice for me. Recently, the excitement of playoff football and midseason basketball has led to me pursuing a similar practice in my personal journal - airing out thoughts on sports ranging from stats I've tried to memorize to my (often unwanted) psychological analysis on a given athlete / situation. I love the process of putting pen to paper, and plan to continue this in my personal life.  But when it comes to sports, I had the thought that maybe there's n
