Tyler's season got started on a better note than
Samantha's did. With a closely contested first half and a widening lead in the
second, we cruised to a 34-14 win. Tyler got the start at point guard, which
came as a surprise to me (I knew he played pretty decent defense, but I thought
his ball handling needed work). He played well, making several drives to the
lane, although he did get called for carrying the ball a few times. He finished
the game with 6 points, but could have had around 16 if he made some easy shots.
He'll start to get more comfortable as the season progresses. He also played
pretty decent defense today, guarding the best player on the other team (who
still scored most of his team's 14 points). Hopefully this game is a sign of
things to come for the rest of the season, both for Tyler and the team.
One reminder when looking at the pictures - Tyler's
number this season is 2, so keep an eye out for that if you can't figure out
which one he is when looking at them.

Tyler spent most of the game guarding the oppositions best
player, who also happened to be a teammate on his baseball team last
summer.

Although it is hard to tell, Tyler is driving with the ball down
the right side of the lane. He is mostly obscured by the player
guarding him here.

The final score, a 34-14 win for the good guys.
