The View from the Lens

I've been watching basketball for most of my life.  I played when girls were held to half the court.  I love the game.  I love everything about the game.  I especially love to see players who are selfless and who are willing to be a part of the effort, even when they aren't the ones making the baskets.  

Ryan Jones, who made plenty of baskets, made an assist that is typical of most of the players on the Siegel team at any given time.  Jones dropped the ball effortlessly (in appearance) into the ready hands of Robert Brandon, who just pressed it through the waiting rim to score two points and more 'oohs' and 'aahs' than the gymnasium heard the rest of the night.  A simple drive and dunk would have been thrilling, but the awareness the players showed of each other's place on the court added a bonus to the moment.  

Siegel has new faces this year that seem to be finding a home with the old and known faces.  Charles "Bird" Clark, Ryan "Lilman" Jones, and Robert Brandon played the first games without the Star football players who have now made their way back to the court.  Adding to this year's field of players, though, have been very capable additions:  Steward, Trice, McGee, and Roberts have been great in handling the ball, participating in the plays, and shooting to score.   

The season is under way, and the Stars really have come to play!  Follow them on the journey in person when possible, and on Facebook and Twitter the rest of the time.
