Today is July 20, 2010 and I this is my second blog entry for mainegirlsbasketballreport.blogspot.com. I am enjoying this sunny warm weather on my last day of vacation before heading back to the real world tomorrow. Though I can not say I am looking forward to getting back to my job I can say that I am excited to start watching and writing about some basketball!!! I have three major events on my schedule over the next few weeks, first there is the By the Beach End of Summer tourney on July 24th and 25th, after that I will be at the Lewiston Summer Conclusion tourney on July 30th and 31st and finally I will attend the Class A Summer showcase on August 7th. These three events will be my first opportunity to see first hand what teams and players are looking like for the upcoming season, I am ready to get to work.
The first of these events, the By the Beach End of Summer tourney starts this upcoming weekend. Here is a link to the tourney site

I am working on getting a list of the teams that are going to be playing and I will share that on here as soon as I get it. I am extra psyched for this event because it is a high school team event so it will be a great early chance to see some of the teams before the season. I am hoping to do some live blogging on both Saturday and Sunday while watching the games (Got to love smart phones). I also will try to talk to a few coaches or players if I can and with their permission recap the interviews for my readers.
This blogging will be difficult and possibly boring at first because I don’t have anybody who is reading me on a consistent basis and because it is the off season. With that being said as my readership level increases and the season gets closer I should be able to make things more interesting. More readers should mean more comments which will lead to good conversations about basketball. The season getting closer means fall AAU and more games to attend live, ergo more material to blog about and in theory better reading for you. I hope to have built up a decent reader base by the time the fall AAU season is over so that we can kick things up during the high school season. For now I will do my best to get the most mileage out of the few remaining summer events as well as commenting on articles I find interesting online. I hope this will be enough to garner some interest in mainegirlsbasketballreport.com. Please feel free to comment on any of my posts with ideas for the blog or ways to make things more interesting or user friendly.
I think that’s about as far as I can stretch this entry. Hopefully I will be writing again soon with info about what teams will be playing in this weekends tourney. I will leave you with a quote that I really enjoy from my childhood hero,
“The game is my life. It demands loyalty and responsibility, and it gives me back fulfillment and peace.” – Michael Jordan
