Today we travel to Clemson play DW Daniel High School. They have won back to back 3A State Championships so it will be a tough game. For the sports trivia buff, this high school is where NBA Legend and Hall of Fame player Pete "Pistol" Maravich went to school, as his father coached at Clemson University. "Pistol Pete" holds the record for the highest points per game average at college level, a ridiculous 40 points per game!! He was the first player to truly bring "showtime" to the NBA with his incredible scoring, flashy ball-handling and no look passing. He was the forerunner to other legends such as Magic Johnson so to see where he played his formative basketball was one of those lucky opportunities.

Knowing that your opponent is going to be very good and athletic can sometimes be a good or bad thing. After a promising game, our best yet, the night before we were hopeful that we could build on the performance from the night before. Unfortunately we came out very flat and quite timid against Daniel and found ourselves down by a significant margin in the first half. There was some improvement in the second half but the result was well and truly out of our reach. The final score being 70 to 40. The challenge for the group, as we look to go further south to Hilton Head, SC (about 4 hours south of Greenville SC), is to try to play more physically and not be timid when we play. In patches we have looked really good but we have yet to establish enough consistency in the way we play. Hopefully our next game, after we have watched Clemson play Furman (major Division 1 College basketball), we will be able to focus on the simple things that will allow us to improve and post some better results.
