Well here it is. The last one. For now at least.
Thankyou to all who have followed us on this amazing journey. A few people to thank: Mr Bataille and Mrs Harris for being great tour companions on and off the court. They both have families too and to be away while the rest of the St Augustine's staff have their feet up is a great acknowledgment to their dedication to the school. Joel Elbag and Brad Dalton - our head coaches who have done an amazing job with the boys. Their knowledge of the game is incredible and their passion for basketball is evident in the clothes they wear and their great chat. Well done guys and thanks for the hard work. The parents who traveled - its hard on the road as you don't have a lot of support in the stands, but to the parents and families who supported the tour on this side - the Bird's, the Nelson's, the Holmes', the McHugh's, Mr Gow, the Richmond's (please don't let me leave someone out...) - thanks for the familiar faces in the bleachers who clap when we do something good. The boys - what an experience you have been given. Look back on it fondly and put all those experiences into your everyday lives - on the court and off it. You'll all be better men from these last 19 days together. Best of luck. And finally, Miss Donnellan who has literally done 3 years of preparation for this tour since the end of the last one and her work doesn't go unnoticed. Thank you Emma for being a great tour leader and ensuring this sort of opportunity is available to St Augustine's basketballers. Not a lot of schools get to do this. We saw some amazing stuff. Thanks heaps, Dozza! Thanks everyone for supporting us at home through this blog. Its been great bringing it to you each night. Over 3,500 views since December 3rd! Wow! We'll be home in a couple of days - tired, stinky and in need of a shave and a haircut, but its been great fun. JS. Out.
