This concludes the second day of the four game tournaments. Normally you would see a lot more story/analysis. Right now I am trying to keep my nostrils above water. It is like trying to digest four Thanksgiving meals in one day. Coach Teas has been taking photos. I will get them up later. I have my detailed notes. I might revist these stories for quick liners. But now I need my sleep. It is 12:35 am on Saturday and there is another four game event tomorrow.

next up: tomorrow morning
