I am so psyched for what is a historic match-up today at 2pm between the Cubs of U of D Jesuit and the Cowboys of Western International High School. Both schools are located in the city of Detroit, and their basketball teams will be playing in the Operation Friendship City Chmapionship game. The teams have never met before during the refular season in the istoiry of the two schools, I am almost certain.
Another cool thing is that Western is ranked #1 in Class A and is undefeated going into the game. UD is ranked #3, and will need to bring their best skills today to defeat Western. Furthermore, if each team plays well in the state tournament, they should meet each other again, back at Calihan Hall in two weeks for the quarterfinal game. I am excited that so many factors havwe converged to make this an exciting event.
My friend, Bill Bowles, is a media specialist at Western. I met Bill on my trip to Saudi Arabia in 2007. He and I live two miles apart, but we met in Houston, before going to KSA. Bill and I will be cheering on our schools. Zack and Chris will be there, as will my friends John and Bill, with whom I graduated from UD back in 1986. Go Cubs!
