A big THANKS to Jeff Lisath, his team, and the good folks at Piketon for the warm welcome they extended to my team and friends from Montserrat on Thursday evening. It was an amazing thing to see - the Caribbean meets Pike County. The players respected each other and got along tremendously, and we ha...

I want to give a big thanks to everybody who has helped me out with this. So many people and businesses have stepped up to lend a hand to the Montserrartians. Here's the list so far, not including all the people who have bought t-shirts: Knisley Pharmacy of Chillicothe Pat McCallister and Comfort In...

More news. The game at Ohio Christian University will be streamed live on the internet so those on the island of Montserrat with the technological capabilities can listen in. That'll be a big deal down there for sure.

I just got a call from Coach Tressel's office. The team has been invited to meet him and the rest of the Buckeye's at the Woody Hayes facility before we go to the OSU basketball practice. Great gesture by coach.

Coach,

I think the Piketon visit will be a real nice kick-off for the Montserratians. It will give them a chance to meet some nice southern Ohioans as well as giving them a good start on their visit here. I appreciate you guys having us and look forward to coming down.

Here's what the t-shirts look like if anybody's interested. As I mentioned, you can buy one at a game or order one from me. The proceeds go to Montserrat Basketball for nets, shoes, rims, air pumps and other items they need on the island. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sIIOqZNt5vk/TJuM_V6hYUI/AAAAAAAAA7E...

Dutchman,

Yes, Kevin and Mick are my first cousins. We grew up together, were neighbors, and I played basketball with Mick at Paint Valley. Kevin was a couple years ahead of me. I just talked to Mick a couple days ago in fact.

A couple more things I should mention: There will be a few under 18 players on the team that would love to play HS basketball here in the states, and if you watch them you'll see they can play. Assuming the details could be worked out according to OHSAA guidelines they'd really help somebody. There ...

This has been mentioned briefly in another thread by Coach Lisath, but I thought I'd let everyone know what's going on. The Montserrat National basketball team will be arriving in Ohio on October 20th for a week of games and other activities and events. Montserrat is a tiny island in the Caribbean t...
