Jahii Carson doing work.. Jahii has a special blend of swagger, skils and athleticism that you rarely see in a 5’9″ guard. I had the pleasure of watching him play all spring and summer with the Compton Magic. Great kid too, very respectful.

Courage:
We are all afraid of something, all the time
I am afraid of sharks
Most people are afraid of death
Courage means you keep on going, anyway
Most people would be afraid to live my dad’s life,
He is in a wheelchair
He has undergone many surgeries
But he keeps on going, anyway
Thousands of men and women are fighting in Iraq on Christmas Day
I think that’s unfair, I bet they are afraid
But they keep on going, anyway
When I become afraid, I think about my dad, and the soldiers
And I keep on going, anyway
Merry Christmas December 25, 2009

LOS ANGELES – Cal State L.A.’s men’s basketball team made sure the wait was worth it.
The Golden Eagles, finally playing their first home game of the 2009-10 season, posted a 101-43 victory Friday night in the Eagles Nest. Cal State L.A. (5-1) won its fourth straight game and had five players reach double figures in scoring.
The Golden Eagles led from start to finish after scoring the first 15 points of the game. Cal State L.A. led, 43-24, at halftime and then broke the game wide open with a 58-19 advantage in the second half.
Dwayne Jones led the Golden Eagles with 21 points and four assists, while Chris Fields added 16 points and 11 rebounds and Carl Hoffman had a season-high 16 points and eight rebounds. Leland Jones had 12 points and nine rebounds and Trevor Hopkins had 12 points and six rebounds.

It’s hard to sit on the bench in any sport. I know this from personal experience, though some time ago.
It’s especially hard in basketball, it seems to me. There are so few players — only five can play at any one time, and then there’s the tyranny of the clock: only 32 minutes to be parceled out in high school games, 40 in college.
At Middlebury College, two of the best players on this year’s talented team (5-0 so far, with two more home games this week), Kevin Kelleher and Ashton Coghlan, are sitting on the bench and haven’t played a minute this season.
Kelleher has no prospect of playing and Coghlan has only a vague hope. Both would love to be competing, but they are out with debilitating, chronic injuries.
One of the two senior captains this year, Kevin is a versatile player, tall and well built, 6-5, 215, with a nice long-distance shot, so valuable in today’s game.
