    Tyler's basketball team played their seventh game at the Cage Fieldhouse on 
Saturday, December 4th. I thought maybe the boys stood a good chance to get 
their third win of the season tonight, as the Michigan Thunder team that they 
were playing had just finished another game immediately before this one started, 
but unfortunately it wasn't meant to be. Tyler's team got off to a slow start 
and fell behind early. They fought hard to get back into the game, but they just 
couldn't quite get over the hump to take the lead. Tyler had another strong 
game, even though his missed all of his shots from the floor. It wasn't like he 
missed badly, they just rolled off the rim on the wrong side of the net once 
again. He did get fouled on one of his shots, and he stepped to the line and 
calmly managed to sink both free throws. If only he would take a breath and 
relax each time he shot the ball I think he would be much better off. The bottom 
line from tonight's game was a narrow defeat, this time by a 32-29 score.
