Well, talk about an interesting first half of the season for your DCB Lumberjacks Men's Basketball team. We are 11-3 right now, with one game remaining in the semester. Tonight we played Jamestown JV for the second time this season. We won 98-82, Abdul-Hakim Fofana had 14 points and 17 rebounds, Terrell Alfred continued his hot shooting with 27 points, Youssouf Traore stepped up off the bench and gave us 16 points and 11 rebounds (his best game of the year, definitely looking for him to step up more in the second half of the season), Guillermo Rodriguez also continued his hot shooting, adding 18 points, and BIRTHDAY BOY Deylon Hunt (freshly 21 years old today) had 12 points and 6 rebounds. We have had a good first half of the season so far, Coach Hollowell and myself are very pleased with what we have been able to do. The guy's have responded to us, and have done everything that we have asked of them on and off of the court. It's nice to have a group of guy's that do what you ask of them, and do it to the best of their abilities. We have been kind of spoiled with our first year and having such a great group of guy's. That's not saying we haven't had any issues, but we haven't had any issues to cause any strain or dilemma to the overall team. Guy's have stepped up when they've been called upon, and done a tremendous job. Like I said, basketball wise, but just not basketball, these guy's have been a blast to be around. Each day is a new experience and is part of the process, but these really guys have been a joy to coach and be around, which has made coaching them, that much better! They make myself and coach Hollowell look pretty good on and off of the court and we can't thank them enough for that. We play Dakota County tomorrow at 4pm in NDSCS Baymont Inn Classic, hoping to pull off another W and end the semester 12-3. Wish us luck, it will be a tough test, but one that we are looking forward too.
