Day isn't the only word you can use after Mother...

After some starts, stops and confusion, the Hoops Sagrado Knights were back on the court this Sunday in the Balance co-ed league against newcomers Full Court Press.

Despite the fact that for the first time this season the Knights had a full squad including 7 hombres and 2 chicas, it probably was not the Knigts best performance.

But as they have proved time and time again, it's the final score that matters and the Knights are now 3-0 with a 73-58 victory.

The Knights went down early and stayed that way until 9.12 to go in the second half when they finally tied it up. With 7.28 to go in the game, they went up and never looked back.

Three weeks in, it's pretty obvious that the bad calls are par for the course and that the Balance co-ed league has it's own Joey Crawford (this is not a compliment). This week, Aniekan was the recipient of his liberal use of the technical (okay, so Aniekan deserved the tech, but did not deserve the foul call that precipitated the tech).

The fouling this week was a team effort with everyone but Bryan getting their name in the book for at least one (and sometimes four) fouls. Again, some deserved and several obviously not.

Despite some ridiculous elbowing by the other team, Las Chicas Jordyn and Tyler held their own and once again proved the Knights proud not only with their heart, but also their skills.

We were joined this week by Stan and he immediately made a huge difference scoring 14points, 4 assists and 2 rebounds. It's good to have him with us on Sundays.

The Knights always have the most vocal cheering squad and today they were lead by Momma Crocket and Bryan's grandfather Frank Hayes. They were a great addition to the bench.

Here is this weeks stat line:

Bryan: 4 points/8 assists/1 rebound (no fouls)
Stan: 14 points/ 4 assists/2 rebounds (4 fouls)
Sam: 4 points/ 2.5 assists/5 rebounds (2 fouls)
Dario: 9 points/1 assist/22 rebounds (2 fouls)
Jerrod: 14 points/ 1 assist/ 4 rebounds (3 fouls)
Shaq: 8 points/8 rebounds (3 fouls)
Aniekan: 8 points/2 rebounds (4 fouls)
Jordyn: 10 points/2 rebounds (2 fouls)
Tyler: 2 points/1 assist/1 rebound (1 foul)

Stat girl is working on steals and should have those added to the stat line next week.

Next up: Adam Morrison's Stache at 12:45 on Sunday, May 17.
