Summer Leagues!

Well, I'm back after a nearly three-month hiatus from the Girl's State Tournament back in March.  Keeping at it with the tennis and working out has restricted my time with the hoops but with the return of the summer leagues it was time to dust off the cobwebs and get back at it again.

Two summer leagues kick off this week:  The Midtown YWCA League starts Tuesday night (6-9) and this week and next week there will be games on both Tuesday evening and Wednesday evening before things settle into a Wednesday night format with a break in the action on Wednesday (7-1) for the fourth of July holiday.  Another league that gets going this week is the Sabes Jewish Community Center Summer League run by Lauri Ludemann.  This will be the second year of this league and I thought this league did pretty well last summer given the relative lack of space at the facility.  It will be interesting to see what teams have signed up as I'm sure this one will provide some very interesting matchups for sure.

Still another league that just got underway last weekend is the one over at the Hudson, Wisconsin YMCA.  I got to visit that league a couple of times this last year but the distance over there and getting ready for another workweek may limit my visits over there again.  Still, I plan on getting over there soon to see whose in and to get a look at the players as well.

On a side note, Bemidji State announced the hiring of Chelsea DeVille on Friday this last week  to fill the head coaching vacancy there.  Solid hire, IMHO, and I suspect she'll have that program competitive again in a very tough NSIC.

So, am definitely looking forward to getting back into the swing again this week and I eagerly look forward to all the games!
