In our first game of the year, we had a 22-22 tie.  The other team was clearly better than our team.  Brad McClure was beast in the game.  Of our 22 points, he scored 19.  After the game, I found out that one of the other team's better players wasn't there.  Still, I felt that the other team was superior.  Personally, I count this as a moral victory.  We have 4 kids that have never played basketball before.  They all ran hard and stayed with their man.  To be 0-0-1 at this point is a surprise.
