Does the "i" in team go between the e and the a?

At times during Sunday's Hoops game vs. the SAIS Ballers, it felt a bit like the Knights were playing a selection team made up of every obnoxious player they have ever encountered in Guatemala. The dirty plays began almost from the tip of the ball and the trash talking soon followed.

Now one would think that after experiencing this kind of 'play' in Guatemala year-after-year, cooler heads would prevail. Instead of letting the bad plays and bad calls go ignored, a few members of the Knights lost their heads and had to be reminded, on more than one occasion, that this is a team effort.

One player who had the team spirit from the beginning was Jordyn (and Stat Girl's not just sayin this in some sort of chick solidarity either).Even after a day spent tackling the grass and hedges at Casa Crockett, Jordyn (the only girl on the roster this week) had to play the full 40 minutes, but she did a bang-up job and absolutely didn't shy away from some of the rough and tumble play and came up with two 3's and 14 points total...probably a bruise on her hip too after trying to save a ball late in the game.

In the end, despite his frustrations with his team, Bryan was able to rally the troops, calm them down (or more to the point, shut them up) and in the end, dirty plays, questionable calls, and trash talk aside, the Knights prevailed 60 to 46 to remain undefeated in the league.
