Good Luck TAYLOR!

Spanish Cup

Alicante won the first semi-final game of the Spanish cup Friday night 87 - 81! Keith was the high scorer while Taylor was the second high scorer with 13 pts and 7 rbds.

Saturday at 7pm in Spain; (1 pm our time) Alicante played LECHE RIO BREOGAN in the championship game- - game update to come!

Way to go Alicante!~

vs. Barrios

Taylor had a great game Friday night against vs CB Villa de los Barrios. He scored the first 8 points and then the first 14 of 16 including a 3 pointer! (Love. That.) He finished as the high scorer of the game with 22 points and 8 rebounds.

The game was close and exciting but Alicante was trailing by 2 (87-85) in the last 30 seconds. Nick George hit a 3 pointer with 25 seconds left to give Alicante an 88-87 win!

Sounds like a great game! Way to go Taylor and Alicante!

And Now for Basketball

Taylor only had one game while we were in Alicante, but it was awesome! The fans are totally wild and into the game- - the gym was buzzing with excitement- - and they have a remote-control blimp that flies over the court during time-outs. The game was close (they only won by three points) but they managed to stay ahead the entire second half. Taylor hurt his knee pretty early in the game but he played through it and didn't disapoint us! We hadn't seen him play in a LONG time so it was really fun regardless! (I'm sure we didn't cause any commotion cheering/yelling in English either...) :)

And, we've mentioned this before, but Taylor's teamates are. just. awesome. It was fun to see all of them together on and off the court!

Here are some pictures from the game!

We have pretty awesome video from the game too, we'll post it when we figure out how... :)

Home for the Holidays

Taylor was home, and is back in Spain and we've been there, and there's still LOTS to share, but we felt like sharing a picture of what Taylor did while he was home for the couple days during the holidays...

It wouldn't be a visit home without some Jazzercise.... right? :)

There's Always Fun in Alicante

Sunset. One word. INCREDIBLE.

A view of the beach from the top of the castle. From the top on this point you can see the entire city.

Family dinner! While Taylor practiced, we cooked!
