San Fran Recap
What's good YB family? I hope you all had great weekends! Mine was a good one for sure! We played up in San Jose against the San Fran (Dragons) team. We got our second W which is nice. I definitely haven't been 2-1 since college to start a season, so it's a nice feeling for sure. It was a tough game, and another great atmosphere. The Dragons organization did a great job putting together the game as the fan support was great, and it was very organized after the game in terms of meeting all of the kids at the game. The game went back and forth at the beginning, San Fran's got some ridiculously talented players. One of my favorite players to watch in this league is Jake Byrne (former Hop teammate) because he's stick work and shot are so unique. He's capable of scoring from anywhere on the field and he's crazy accurate as well, so it's fun to watch him play. Just got to make sure you don't give him too many opportunities because he doesn't miss often. He definitely got a couple on us on Saturday night. Our defense played well, and Mickey Jarboe did his thing in the goal as usual. As I mentioned last blog, I think our defense is one of the best in the league for sure and I think once again they proved why. I'm not sure I've seen a defender 'd-stick' someone as much as D.J. Driscoll (defender on our team) does every game. Offensively, we're still not there yet, but this weekend was definitely a step in the right direction. The key for us is going to be balance. We don't rely on one person to score all of our points or goals, we've got a lot of talented guys on the field and we're all slowly finding our roles. In our game against San Fran, we picked up the midfield scoring a bit which will be extremely important the rest of the way. I had 2 goals, Chazz had 3, Casey had 3, Downing had 2 and Buckely had 1. Our attack of, Hubbard, Riorden and Watson will score a lot of goals for us, so it's our job as middies to take some of the pressure off of those guys by opening it up from the midfield. We're still not shooting the ball great, but with each game that passes, we're slowly improving. It was a great win on the road for us, and we've got another big game against Denver this weekend in L.A.. They definitely smacked us in our first game against them at the beginning of the season (ha, 2 weeks ago). So, we've got to get in a lot of shooting this week and be ready to go when those guys come to L.A.. this weekend. Last night before I left, I was sitting in my hotel room waiting to go grab dinner and I ended up catching a show called "100 most hilarious moments of all time" and I watched the whole thing and nearly wet my shorts I was laughing so hard. I was able to find two of the funnier clips on Youtube, so check them out.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ztr2bOtdByA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG_VrXvqoMY&feature=related Apparently, both people in the videos were ok, so it's ok to laugh. You know it's funny! I'll catch up with you all soon, I need to go get a run in and get some shots on the goal! KH Oh yeah, who's winning the NBA title?

What did you think about game one? Lakers didn't look too good out there in the second half.
Game 1 was wack for sure. I'm excited for tonight though, they're gonna play really well.
