E Streeters Still Got Game. Sorta

The E Streeters made their return to the parquet floor last night in a grand way, helping the Middlesex Community College roundball team to a resounding victory over their collegiate opponents across the river, the University of Massachusetts, Lowell.

How did they help? Mainly by staying out of other people's ways. And looking imposing.Pre-game, prior to taking a errant rebound at ground zero, Barry even has Jonathan scratching his head, trying to figure out how to survive this gameBefore the opening buzzer, we're desperately trying to figure out how we can avoid making fools of ourselves out on the court. Or suffering a debilitating, career-ending injury.From the opening tip-off, things seemed under controlThanks to tenacious defense, of courseSwarming defense, in fact

A veritable WALL of defense - can't you just feel the desperation of the ball-handler when faced with that formidable pair?And of course, the occasional dominant reboundIn the end, MCC walked away with a win, clearly the result of infallable coaching. That, and the fact we had enough subs to keep us all from sucking too much wind against a much younger UML squad.

As always, a pleasure going into battle with the extended E Streeter family, seen here looking all kinds of tough after notching the win:

Thanks to all of families and fans for supporting us, and great job, MCC, you pulled off the win in spite of us!
