Bulls Start off Strong with Two Big Wins

I thought that we had a good team, but I am more than pleasantly surprised with the Bulls' success in Games One and Two. All of the players have contributed, and it shows in the scores. We surpassed the 50-point plateau in each game and won by margins of 34 and 17 points.

In Game One, we saw a Cavalier team that was bigger and stronger than we are. We overcame their size and strength advantage with our speed, shooting and superior passing. Will "Magic" Kenny led the way with 17 points. I was particularly excited to see Blaine Schimoler score four points, to help mount up a lead that was at one point 41 points. The final score was 58-24.

Game Two was a matchup with our friends the Peapack-Gladstone Celtics. We were shorthanded, missing Devon Levine, who was a key contributor against the Cavaliers. The seven Bulls who played made up for Devon's absence with sheer hustle. Andrew Martin and Will "The Thrill" Howes both scored in double figures to lead the team to a 51-33 victory.

The Bulls are a team that can expect to win every time that they take the court. All of the players are using their heads and playing good basketball.
