coming back at 5:10 am, light is out – sweet dreams ST!

shucks! we kept looking for Hawaii teams as I know that they are always there representing the 808.

where were the games played? area high school gyms? it must have been really hot.

kept losing $$$ so we went to see Red 2 and Pacific Rim – both very enjoyable but Red 2 was funny from the very start – now we want to see Red 1.

Mrs A-House rode the elevator with 2 young boys and she asked how they did and enjoying Vegas – the shorter one, said, “we just won the national championship” and she replied, “that’s just great, congratulations”

It was interesting to watch the lightning show and feel the vibrations from the thunder – Masaboy, who is home now, always remarked that summer was “monsoon season” in Vegas.

“Earlier this summer, I was attending some camps in California,” Meyer wrote in an email to the RGJ. “I called Coach Rolovich and he said that it would be fine for me to come up and take an unofficial visit. My family and I drove up from California to come and see what Reno was all about. After meeting Coach (Brian) Polian and the rest of his staff and taking the tour of the campus and facilities, I was very impressed. After speaking with my family, we decided that the University of Nevada would be a place where I could succeed as a student and an athlete.”

Anyway, enjoyed the blog that provided good information along with both friendly and unfriendly banter. This upcoming season will be another tough one for the Warrior faithful. Just be mindful that “adversity” is the true test of one’s character.

P.S. Could have sworn I been here since 2009. But, after more thought, I think it was 2010, the year that Mac had his most successful season (minus the Hawaii Bowl). 😉

Go (Rainbow) Warriors!!

ST:

Where did you stay over the weekend?

We were at the Orleans and the hundreds of basketball players from across the nation and Canada – boys and girls – and M Resort.

As we were leaving on Tuesday night, it was the high schoolers turn to fill the empty rooms.

Every team had at least 2 or 3 players in the 6’7″ to 6′ 10″ or taller.

Then, came this team whose average height around 5′ 11″ or 6′ with 1 player about 6′ 4″ to which Mrs Ahouse says they must be fast and great shooters.

Any Hawaii teams in the national tournament?

A-House,

Sorry we missed you and Mrs. A-House here.

Our club team is here for the Big Foot Hoops Tournament LV Classic. We have a 14U team that my son plays on (Curtis Murayama’s son is also on our team) and a 16U team. That’s 18 players along with 34 parents, supporters and coaches, so 52 visitors for only 2 teams.

There are 450 boys teams in 8 age divisions and 31 girls teams in 2 age divisions. I would estimate over 10 thousands visitors here for just this one tournament. There are also at least 2 other national tournaments going on this week here in Vegas.

Just like when we traveled to New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl, the hotels, restaurants and shops are very appreciative of visitors these basketball tournaments bring.

Teams in the Las Vegas Classic from Hawaii

16U Boys – Boom

14U Boys – Boom

13U Boys – Tar Heels

9U Boys – Tar Heels

Varsity Girls – Hawaii Select, Hawaii Central Side

14U Girls – Kalakaua Wahine

And yes we Hawaii teams are usually the smaller teams, our 16U team is definitely smaller than any teams we’ve seen or played in our age bracket.

Something to get a boolakanaka going….

Shoko:

OK. Hey, “Independent Thinker” said to check the address, and both of you are sharing it. Maybe it’s a glitch. Dunno. I’m not a computer whiz. I just thought that was odd.

Hey homey — Shoko has established he lived near Sacramento when he first appeared in 2010. So both live in the central California area? Such coincidences!
