Concord Mills Shopping Tour / Burns High School
Today saw the group head off to Concord Mills Outlet Mall, which is the leading tourist attraction in North Carolina. With a large number of stores and bargains galore the kids certainly got after things and spent up a storm!! Christmas purchases being the major focus point today before our game against Burns High School.





After today's shopping fest we faced off against Burns High School, for the Big Wednesday game!! We knew coming in that they would be our toughest opponent so far and the predictions were spot on. In front of a good sized crowd we lead early but our inability to take care of the ball meant that we were trailing at the half by 7 points. The second half unfortunately saw us fall further behind as the number of errors increased. The final score 63-32 indicates that much work is needed to improve upon the execution areas where we are currently struggling. The boys are also slowly adjusting to the physicality of the play but this is one of the learning experiences of the tour. We played in patches tonight and at times, looked quite good so the challenge is to play more consistently.

Tomorrow we play against United Faith Christian Academy, here in Charlotte. This school is one of the powerhouse high school programs in the North Carolina region so it will be another good challenge for us to continue to improve. Enjoy some of tonight's game highlights.

Tomorrow also will allow us to get into Charlotte to have a look at the centre of the city and find out a little more about the history. The weather today was very mild but we're expecting snow flurries on Saturday so it will be nice and cool. Fun times ahead as we go through this 4 game, 4 night road stretch!!
