It began with the ceremonial distribution of the 2009-2010 Championship Jerseys we have all been clamoring to receive! As Jimmy Nangle handed them out, the jerseys did not disappoint and it was well worth the wait! That undefinable shade of vomitous green never gets old!! Larry Toglia made a point of wearing it during the game for the pure intimidation factor (and his forgetting his game jersey)!!
As the layup lines began, the Eastview Gynmasium had all the excitement, noise and atmosphere of a North Carolina - Duke game at Cameron Indoor Stadium . The crowd was raucous and overflowing as the YOUNG opposing team seemingly drew 50-60 spectators to cheer them on in their opening game! It was headache inducing noise, playoff ambience, and the veterans from the Porterhouse Pub Men's Hoop Team seemed whimsically amused as well as thoroughly confused by this unprecedented show of support at this "advanced" level of play!
The noise subsided rather quickly as the wily Porterhouse team, after a slow start, found their groove and executed a game plan of patience, solid defense, and most importantly, exceptional Free Throw shooting down to the wire to secure the first regular season victory of this Championship Quest!
It was an overall Team effort with EVERYONE contributing!!
While not the prettiest game for our team from a technical standpoint, it was effective enough to put us in the Win column as we pursue the ultimate trophy!!
1-0.... The First step to Gold!!!
Well done Boys...
PS,, if anyone sees TJ please let him know the game is at 7pm! Eastview! lol
