First Games

This weekend we had our first games. Much of the league started last week, but we had a bye. So, we played our season opener this weekend. We played a team called Takamatsu, which was 1-1 coming into the weekend.
Our team had a slow start last year and went 0-8, so we wanted to start out on the right foot and get the season going in the right direction this year.
Saturday we did just that and ended up winning 89-63. Then on Sunday we kept the weekend going by adding another win; 79-62.
 
It was a great first weekend for us, and hopefully there will be many more weekends like this during the season where we can get both games (as we play on both Saturday and Sunday every weekend this year).
This weekend after both of our games we collected donations to help out the people that were affected by the typhoon that came through a little while ago. Normally after that games we go around and clap/shake hands with all the fans. But after our two games this weekend we were given donation boxes and took donations from people who wanted to give money (we also clapped/shook there hands). I am not sure how much money we raised overall but it was great that the team did this to once again try and help out the people who were affected (we also went and helped one farmer clean up a landslide that blocked a road on his property (link here).
