I know. I have been slacking with my updates. But, here they are now. For those of you who have already seen the results of our first playoff double header against San Marino, I’m sure you were just as disappointed with the outcome as we were. For those of you who still cannot decipher what is written on the Italian FIBS website (and believe me, I am still struggling), D.E.S. Caserta split 1-1 with San Marino on August 8 up in San Marino. San Marino comes to our place this weekend and only one team will advance to next weekend’s finals round. We have to step up our game and show a little more enthusiasm this time around. We are very anxious to play again after enduring a three week hiatus, Italy’s summer holiday “Ferragosto”. We are ready to get out there and do what we do best. It’s too early to head home.
My time here has dwindled to a mere month now. I am going to reiterate once again that I cannot believe how fast the time has gone here. I was blessed with great teammates who I know will remain friends of mine for years to come. We have shared so much together and we have grown together. We have literally done everything together over these past six months. Our chemistry off the field has created a bond on the field that has proven virtually indestructible. Now, as the end nears, we all share a common goal—to go out on top.
