We Find Our Heroes Poolside...


It wasn't a beautiful day when we arrived in Cincinnati, but kids being kids, of course we wanted to be out by the pool. I mean, we were downtown in the big city! (Pictured clockwise from top left: JT Morris, Greg Fields, Mike Reed [note Welcome Back Kotter T-shirt], Dan Gardner, Gay Elmore, Alex Nagy, Bruz Hicks, Boo Diugiud, Joey Bowles, Andy Spradling [I tell my kids I only had one arm then], Michael Calhoun, Randy Risher).

All we thought we had to do that evening was enjoy the opening ceremonies, get a good night's sleep, then attain our goal of becoming the national AAU champions. But there was a plot against us. Rodger and Ron found out at a coaches meeting that a few teams would play that night after the ceremony... they bet one would be us. Needless to say, they were hot... and correct in their assumption. We got the call to get out of the pool and rest. Below is the results of our first two games. Did somebody say something about this group playing defense?
