I watched a Elite High School tournament at the beginning of the season. Teams from Portland and Seattle were there, but it came down to a team from Florida who won against a team from Sacramento (Jesuit). There were no blow outs, except Portland and Seattle went home early. A shot at the buzzer for Florida's win. I think mark was referring to an 8th grade elite tournament which is an Oxy Moron.






Light travels faster than sound. That is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

"Oxy Moron"? Isn't that what Rush Limbaugh was addicted to?

Actually, it's only called an "Elite" tournament because that's what the local league that sponsored it calls itself.

One other note - that team from Seattle had really weird looking numerals on their uniforms. In fact at first, I thought one kid was wearing "77" until I realized it was an "11".

No that's what he is

Had more games last night and this morning. A team from New York beat a team from Olympia, Washington by 65 last night and this morning, a team from right here in Portland beat a team from L.A. by 45. (It's tough getting up to work an 8:00 am game after working games until after 11:00 the night before)

In my second game last night, my partner tossed an assistant coach. The guy was mouthing off early, so my partner first just mentioned it to the head coach. Apparently, that didn't help so when the guy did it again, WHACK! His reaction to the T was to make a statement that included dropping the F bomb so he was toast.

I enjoyed every minute of it - the ejection, I mean.

In that respect, yes. I am a newbie
