For those of you who didn't make it out last night, the Renegades stole the show from beginning to end. They jumped out to a 16 to 3 lead and were able to hold off Undefeated that fought back, but never could gain control of the gain. They ended up winning by double digits. I'll post the stats later, but I'm in class right now.
Thanks for everyone who participated. We raise over 1,000 for the orphanage in Zambia.
This makes me a little happier since my team lost.
Peace

Breath of Heaven Children's Village
Click here to see videos on Zambia Children Village through Awaken Humanity
, www.awaken.org/awaken-humanity
If you are wondering where the money goes for this league, we partner with the Breath of Heaven Children Village in Zambia, Africa. Currently, there are an estimated 15 million orphans from the AIDS epidemic in Sub-Saharan Africa, and this number is expected to increase to 20 million by 2010. This is a serious crisis because many of the community and tribal support networks are not present because close to 40% of the adult population is dying from the disease. Further, Africa has been slow to respond to the disease because of the stigma attached to AIDS. This is a crisis that we have to deal with in our time because children filled with potential are left to the streets, prostitution, and even becoming child soldiers. There are many organizations that are working to redeem this tragic situation, and our league is an attempt to aid their efforts. We are partnerning with Awaken Humanity to provide funds to the children's village in Zambia. It's been a lot of fun competeting with you guys. Obviously, we all want to win, but this league helps us to win at something that is much bigger than basketball.
