Mixed News

Good: GG is looking better and may be released tomorrow.

Bad: Kyle aggravated his shoulder injury from yesterday (while going up to throw an outlet pass, he was struck in the arm, bending his arm back and hyper-extending his shoulder). We iced him at halftime of the morning game, where he played well, gave him motrin after, then iced him from the end of the first game to about an hour before the second. By halftime of the first game, we could tell the shoulder was keeping him from playing his best (his slow reaction raising his right arm allowed two shots that normally would have been blocked to go in [and even some of the shots to his left were not as easily blocked as he could not use his right hand to propel him up]. He winced after every outlet pass and every sprint to loose balls. In the fourth quarter, however, he had two sprints for loose balls, which given his weakened arm led to in- and under-the-water tussles during which his arm was struck and/or pulled (once dunking him). Then after a long outlet pass, right on the money, he could no longer take it, and had to be pulled from the game and helped from the pool. He's on the couch with ice and more anti-inflamatories. I'm so very proud of his effort in the pool... but I'm thinking next weekend's first non-Titan tournament is now in jeopardy.

Good: UCLA women won the MPSF water polo championship, besting our hated rivals, $UC, 8-7, earning an automatic bid to the NCAA Finals at Stanford in two weeks. The Bruins are now 30-0 for the season, and ranked #1 in the nation.

Bad: Josh Shipp declared for the draft... but he hasn't hired an agent. Damn.

I hear 15K showed up to the Spring Game last night. I hope they had fun.
