Saturday May 24th, from Nathan’s email:
Thanks to everyone who showed up for basketball last week, we played a couple of very close games. It went well despite the monstrous rims that seemed to determined to reject any ball that so much as touched them and the fact that a disproportionate number of us are horribly out of shape. The light/white team, made up of Don, Jed, Cory, Tellef, and Pat, took on the dark/non-white team: myself, Chuck, Justin, Walsh, and Ethan. With Jed and Cory on the same team, the lights had an undeniable height advantage, but the darks stayed in it, taking advantage of Justin’s height, Chuck’s speed, and Walsh’s rebounding skills. The game was close, but ended 11-9 in favor of the dark team. The second game was closer still after the light team added Little Lebowski (sorry, I never got his real name). After neither team could gain a 2-point advantage, we went to overtime. The intensity increased, with steals and rebounds going both ways, until Walsh reached back for a little something extra and sank a key jump shot to win the game for the dark team, 14-12 (I think).
