This year's first round pick... KUNLE! The campers love Kunle sooo much they've created the Kunle Dance. The crowd went crazy when Coach Alexander announced that Kunle was the first pick of the 2011 King's Dominion Draft.
All of the counselors that are traveling to King's Dominion on Wednesday were eligible to be drafted by the campers. During the course of this week, the campers organized themselves into groups. They gave themselves names like, The Platypus's, The Charlottiers and The Monders. Each team name was placed on a card. Coach Alexander chose the cards randomly to decide who would pick next. There was a lot of excitement and anticipation.
Last night's draft was extra exciting this year as Chip and Ade volunteered to MC. It was a real ESPN-like format. We had music and interviews... We even had a few phone calls come in from eligible counselors. Slane Lecture Hall was rockin'...
Midway through the draft we held the annual "Dance Off". Four campers vs. CJ and Landrus.
In tournament play yesterday there were some great games. Michigan was the upset winning team of the day. They defeated Texas in soccer and Penn State in floor hockey. AMAZING wins! Hail to the Victors.
Miami beat Stanford on the bball court. Miami came from behind in the first half and then made a buzzer beater to finish the game. The final... 37-36
Two soccer games finished with PK's. As a matter of fact, the Stanford UNC game went to double PK's. It was an incredible Stanford win. Both teams played 60 minutes of great soccer.
Today we celebrate July 4th with individual competitions and then a cook out at the pool. The guys are really looking forward to the change of pace. Tomorrow we'll be back at the tournament.
Have a great holiday weekend!
