Last season, I tagged along with my friend to help him out with his last two games and practices. This year, I'm on for the full season.

We've had two games thus far and we've won each of them handily. Our first win was 52-39, while we won 57-40 today. We were up by as many as 23, but we took out our big guns at the end.

We have two absolute studs. It's a 7th-8th grade league, but one of our kids looks like a Junior in high school. He's big, strong, active, can handle it, has a beautiful stroke, he's a great rebounder, he's got a high basketball IQ... he's just the total package. He dropped 30 points in our first game and had at least five blocks with it.

Our point guard is awesome, as well, on both ends of the floor. He can shoot, he finishes, he's quick, he moves the ball, and he's an absolute ballhawk on D. He must have had at least six or seven steals today. To make a comparison for him in this league, he's like Rondo with a three-ball. Funny kid, too.

Those two guys play AAU and are best friends, so they have terrific chemistry.

Then we have this wide body who absolutely crushes opposing kids with his screens, and they're legal too. He knows how to set them, and could probably teach Perk a thing or two.

As a team, our best attribute is our fast break production. That's how we blow the game open each time. We force a lot of turnovers and those two standouts get the ball up court quickly... with passes, as opposed to dribbling. In 7th and 8th grade, that's very rare.

2-0 baby.
