What's Up Everybody!
Back in school.....This year I'm attending a new school (St. Raphael Academy), so as you can guess, I was way more nervous than usual on the first day of school. But once I got there and met my classmates and teachers everything was good. The major difference between this school year and years past is the bus schedule; my bus comes at 7:20.am not 7:54.am. Instead of sleeping until 6:45.am. sometimes 7:00.am., this
year I'm up at 6:15.am. getting to my bus stop on time this year is very important. My bus stop is about a ten minute walk from my house, and the last thing I want to do is miss the bus. If I miss my bus that means my mom has to drive me to school, and I don't want to hear her(being responsible lecture) that early in the morning...lol. It's all good though; I'm looking forward to having a great school year!
Basketball....On Monday, Wednesday, and one hour on Friday I worked out at TCA (Trenton Catholic Academy). The workouts were for strength and conditioning. On Tuesday, Thursday and two hours on Friday I worked out at Life Center Academy. We did a lot of drills and skill work during those workouts.
The past weekend I rocked with Team Final U14 at the Hoop Group Fall Jam Fest. This was my first tournament with this crew and my first tournament since July. Because of the long layoff my timing wasn't there at first, but the more games we played the better I felt. We played two games on Saturday, we won both games. Sunday morning we won our final pool play game. Our next game was the Championship game. Yo, we were down 31 - 7 in the first half, and came back and won 68 - 61. We got back into the game as a team and pulled it out as a team.
Once we get used to playing with each other and build some chemistry....Yo I'm real excited....lol....First time together, first championship together. What a way to end the weekend!!!
Also I want to send a shoutout to my big brother Corey (U.S. Army). For going over to Iraq and making it back safely.
Malachi "Shoota" Richardson....Peace!!
