January 1 - Let's Do This!

Happy new year! We will indeed be playing basketball Sunday night, New Year's Day at 7:00 p.m.  Don't forget to reserve your spot by contacting me starting New Years Eve. Only the first 15 guys on the list will play. Hope to see you then. -Ed

Christmas Break

We have had some great games lately but now we are on hiatus until January. Check back to see our playing status. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas time with family and friends. Peace. -Ed

December 11

We will be playing this Sunday night at 7:00. This will be our last run of the year. Don't forget to text or call me to get your name on the list. First 15 get to play. This past week was a great run. Best games in a while. Come out for another great night of basketball. -Ed

December 4

We're back on the court this Sunday night at 7:00. Remember....you must call or text me to reserve your spot. Only the first 15 guys who contact me will play (my contact info is on the right). Hate doing it that way but attendance has gotten out of control. Too many players makes it not fun. See you soon. -Ed

November 20 & 27

Taking a short hiatus.  We will not be playing Sunday, November 20th or the 27th due to church events.  We will resume playing basketball December 4.  At that time, we will be going on a reservation basis.  If you want to play on a given week, you must call or text me to reserve your spot. I will start taking reservations on the Friday before the Sunday we play.  With the huge turnouts we have had recently, this is the only way I know to keep the numbers at no more than 15.  More than that and it's just too many people to get on the court.  And I hate to turn anyone away at the door after they have made the trip to the church.  Look forward to getting back on the court with you soon.  -Ed

November 13

Let's get after it! Sunday night at 7:00. -Ed

November 6

We are planning on playing Sunday night at 7:00.  I know I said that last week and it didn't happen but I've been assured that we have the court this week. Looking forward to a good run. -Ed

October 30 (Update)

Unfortunately, we have lost the use of the court this week. Hopefully we can get back out there next week. Check back for playing status. -Ed

October 23

Sorry boys. No basketball this week. -Ed

October 16

We are playing Sunday night. Due to high turnouts lately, we will be playing in two shifts. If you want to play at 7:00, get there early and be one of the first 15 players signed in. The second shift will start at 8:15. If we don't have another 15 guys show up, the guys who are first on the 7:00 list will make up the remaining spots on the second shift. Sounds complicated. May be. But don't have a better solution at this point. -Ed

October 9

Can we make it two in a row? I think we can. Let's play! Sunday night at 7:00 p.m. -Ed

October 2

We are playing basketball Sunday night at 7:00. Feel free to show a few minutes early to help me set up. I'm getting old. -Ed

September 25 (Update!)

Because of a last minute prayer meeting being organized at the church, we will not be playing basketball Sunday night.  I'm sorry for the change.  I will do all I can to get us playing next Sunday.  Stay in touch. -Ed

September 18

Going to try and play this week and get things going. But check back here before you head to the court. I'm just getting home and not sure if I can do it. -Ed

Taking a Break

I will be away for about a month so we will be taking a hiatus from playing basketball. We have had great participation this summer and some really great games. I look forward to starting back up in mid-September.  -Ed

Special Run! Monday August 8

We will be playing basketball this Monday night at 7:00 p.m.  It is possible that this could be our last run until mid to late September so come out and play! -Ed

August 7 (Update)

Due to a church function, we will have to cancel our run for Sunday.  My apologies to those who already made plans.  There's a chance we will reschedule for play on MONDAY NIGHT, August 8. Please check back for details.  -Ed

July 31

We will not be playing basketball this week.  -Ed

July 24

Due to the extreme large turnouts we have had lately, we will be running TWO shifts of games this week.  We will start the first run at 6:15 p.m. with the first 15 guys who come through the doors.  We will then reopen at 7:45 p.m. for the second run (15 guys max).  I am also looking for a volunteer or two to help me set up (move chairs, set up goals).  I will be there at 6:00 to start set up.  -Ed

July 17

Playing at 6:30 Sunday night. -Ed

July 10

We will be playing this Sunday night at 6:30 p.m. -Ed

June 26

We will be playing ball at 6:30 until 9:00 this coming Sunday evening.  -Ed

June 19

Our plan is to play Sunday night (Father's day) at 6:00. I am well aware that game 7 of the NBA finals is Sunday night.  Television start time is 8:00 so game should start by 8:15.  We will play until 8:00.  That should give everyone time to get home and see the game.  So please show up ready to play at 6:00 so we can get started promptly. -Ed

June 12

We will not be playing basketball this Sunday night.  -Ed

June 5

We will be playing ball this week at 6:30 p.m.  Considering the turnouts lately, I would urge you to get there on time so we can get as many games in as possible.  -Ed

May 29 Memorial Run

We will be playing ball this Sunday night at 6:30 p.m. -Ed

May 22

We will play this Sunday night at our regular time of 7:00 p.m.  Big thanks to Charlie for expediting the repair of the one goal that broke this past week.  The crank had to be replaced and he jumped all over getting the part to repair it.  We are blessed once again.  

We have been having large turnouts lately and are looking at solutions for accommodating the big number of players. This week, we will play longer than usual. Maybe close to 10:00 p.m.  We are also considering adding another night to play.  Stay tuned! -Ed

May 15

We will be playing basketball this Sunday night at our regular time of 7:00 p.m.  I told some that we would be playing later but there was a change in schedule so we are back in our time slot. -Ed

May 8

This Sunday is Mother's Day. Make sure if you have a mother to honor, you take care of her before you think about playing basketball. As of right now, I am planning on opening the gym for our weekly run at 7:00 p.m.  Played in the national Master's Basketball Tournament this past week but I still have some gas left in the tank.  Let's play! -Ed 

May 1

We are planning on playing this Sunday night 7:00 p.m.  This is the last run before I travel to Florida for the National Masters Basketball Association tournament.  Trying to fine tune my game before then. Come out and have some fun with us.  -Ed

We will be playing this week starting at 6:45 p.m.  We have to be done and out of the building by 8:45 so please get there promptly so we can get running. -Ed

February 14 - Valentine's Day Run

It's on. We're playing at 7:00.  Hope you can make it. -Ed

February 7 - Super Bowl Sunday

As much as I would love to play this week, I'm not sure I can scrape up enough people to play with the Super Bowl going on.  We will look to tee it up next week (Feb 14).  Enjoy the big game! -Ed

January 31

We will be playing basketball this Sunday night at 7:00 p.m.  Hope you will join us.  Next week (February 6) is Super Bowl Sunday and unless we play in the middle of the afternoon on that day (which is not probable) we won't play until February 13. Please come out and run with us.  We have had some great games this year and we would enjoy you joining us. -Ed

January 24

As of right now, I am canceling this week's run.  It seems that most folks want to stay home and watch the Carolina Panthers play.  If I get six+ people that contact me and say they want to play, I will open it back up.  Currently I have two.  Feel free to use the contact info on this blog to hit me up and let me know if you want to play.  You can check back here for status updates as always. -Ed

January 17

We are rolling now! Great games the last two weeks.  We are back on the court again this Sunday night at our usual time of 7:00 p.m.  See you then. -Ed

January 10. Yes, but change in start time

We are playing Sunday night.  Start time has changed to 7:30 p.m.  I will be arriving close to our start time so the gym will not be set up right away.  Anyone interested in helping me set up will be highly appreciated!  -Ed
