Last Game

We played our last game of the season last night at home against Oldenburg. Even though the game was meaningless for us, because we are in 8th place, Oldenburg was playing for moving up into a the next highest league. The last time we played Oldenburg we lost by 3 at their place and it left a bad taste in our mouth. As a team we really wanted to come out and punish them and send a message that we are the better team even if the record doesn't show it. Also, I personally wanted to come out and have a great game because it was my last game and I wanted to leave Germany on a high and keep my motivation high going into the off season.

We won the game 80-67 and we controlled and dominated the whole game. From the start Oldenburg never had a chance. We were playing on a lot of emotion and energy on both ends of the floor. We really wanted this game. I lead up with 20pts 4ast 2rbs 1stl and 2TO in 25min of play. Max and Kevin both had 14pts and Jan Both (6'10 center) finished with 13pts to round out the scoring. Oldenburg's American's combined for 34pts.

We ended the season on a positive and that's just how coach Hansi and us wanted to do it. The season started off very poorly, with us going 0-10 but finished very positively with us winning 7 out of 10.

I leave tomorrow to go back home and I just wanted to thank all the people I met for helping me have a great first time German experience. Danke Schon.

Keep me and my family in your prayers as I fly home.
