We had an away game this past Saturday. It was a long day on the bus to the other side of Hungary. We left at 6:30 am and it took a little over 6 hours to get there. We ate lunch, had some down time in a hotel, and then played at 6 pm. Then we made the trek back to Debrecen. I didn't realize until one of my teammates mentioned it that we were right on the border of Austria. We started the game fairly well and hung with our opponent, who is in second place in the league, for the first quarter. The second quarter got a little out of hand and we were trailing by about 15 at halftime. The rest of the game did not go in our favor and we lost by a large margin. I didn't shoot well, which didn't help the team. Hopefully I can pick it up for next game.
We have another long day on the bus tomorrow when we travel to play the first place team in the league. It's about 6 hours away as well so I'm guessing we will leave early in the morning again. I give a lot of credit to people who need to wake up before dawn - it's not fun hearing the alarm go off when it's still dark. I also give credit to those people who cannot sleep past daybreak due to age (Mom and Dad, I love you both) and those who have newborns like some of my relatives. Hang in there :)
Until next time....
Take care and God bless,
Mike
I don't understand how they can expect the team to play well when you are sitting on a bus for so long and then turn around and come right home. Crazy! I guess there is a budget that they have to keep. I hope the next game will go better for you all. We will be thinking of you.
