Hi All,
This video below was of a game was against the undefeated Holy Spirit White team - the CYO SoCal league champions for the past 4 years. The game was marked with high anticipation as when we played then last year, we only lost by 2 points…….so, a coach from St. Anne’s was sent to scout this game and videotape it. He ended up making this video clip to highlight a player who can play offense and defense hence Nicole. He used it as a training video for his team……..as for the cheating part, it was not directed as she cheated, it was more of pointing out the fact that she uses her instinct to get that defensive edge. This video clip caused a huge issue last week as it was posted on youtube without my knowledge and it is against CYO rules. It went all the way up to the Oakland Diocese Chair and it ended up that St. Anne’s had to take it off since it did not promote appropriate Catholic behavior. I didn’t have a problem with it, I enjoyed the video, didn’t care for some of the words he used but I know it was made in good fun. We ended up losing that game, but Nicole managed to pour in a game-high 17 points, I think the score ended up being 24-31, or something like that. We beat St.Anne’s last weekend (they were the ones who made the video, so I guess the video didn’t help).

We’re off to L.A. this weekend for the National Junior Basketball League Tournament, and hope to come in either in 1st or 2^nd place for our division since we came in 3^rd place last year. The competition is tough, but they’ve been practicing and scrimmaging for the past 2 weeks………..so we’ll see…………..

Gabe calls Nicole the CYO D.Wade, and is looking for green and gold body paint, so that he can make himself a paint jersey with the number 15 on it. If anyone wants to come watch Nicole in action & breakin’ ankles, let me know.

With no further ado…
