Hi again,
The last two days have been filled with lots and lots of basketball out here! On Monday, we did a lot of drills and plays and scrimmaged each other again, similar to what we did on Sunday afternoon. We have had some free time in between sessions, but all most of us do is eat lunch and sleep!
Tuesday was a little different, in that we got a chance to scrimmage the older team in the morning. In the afternoon practice, we went back to scrimmaging within our age group for the final time. We are all anxious as we find out who made the team in the morning!
Hopefully I will have some good news next time!
Take care,
Kane

Hi everyone!
Well, today has been a busy day as we all have traveled from our respective parts of the country to Colorado Springs for the USA U19 World Championships Team trials. We just wrapped up our first session, so I figured it would be a good time to check in with you and let you know what we have been up to. The first thing we did tonight was take photos in our uniforms. They put together a book on all of the players, so you can check out my page here.
Following that, we were able to get some court time where we ran a couple of drills and plays. At the end, we split up into two teams and scrimmaged for a while.
I just got back to my room, so I am going to unpack and call it a night. Tomorrow is the start of two-a-days, with our first session beginning at 8:30 a.m. and the second at 4 p.m.
I will be sure to write again tomorrow to let you all know how things are going. I hope everyone has a great night!
Take care,
Kane
