Half way through

Good Morning ya'll. Told ya I'm getting the language down pat.
Spent yesterday morning going over the UNC University of North Carolina basketball museum. This was a spur of the moment trip after talking with a guy at breakfast. He was a past student and helped organise what was sensational.
                                                The ever helpful MUZ being the doorman.

                                                                 




                                             There's a few shots for boys for the parents back home.

In the afternoon about 4.00 we traveled an hour to Goldboro to play Wayne Country Day school. JV boys played well and were comfortable winners.
The Varsity team had a nail biter and came second by 4 points 52 - 56. Both teams played the games with the right spirit. One observation that has stood out during this trip is the fact that our boys will nearly always give a helping hand to the opposition if they have gone to the floor. It doesn't happen the other way round. Your team mates have to help you up.

I've lost count of how many times someone has commented on how well behaved and well mannered our boys are. They have been a delight to look after and no problem at all. Eating well and most coping with the change in routine. I hope they all keep in touch with home but you can only lead a horse to water.
We are now about to have breakfast and then leave on a coach to travel to Virginia Beach.
This afternoon's game is against Norfolk.

Will keep you posted.

HILLY
