"Good Old Mason!"

The last 3 seasons Amsterdam has made it to the cup finals. This season we have the pleasure of playing in the cup again. This is a huge deal here in Amsterdam! Last night was our first game against Bergen Op Zoom. Bergen Op Zoom came out really strong and the game looked hopeless for us, losing by 15-20 points early on and trailing behind for most of the game. We honestly thought the game was a wash for us, but the performance by "Good Old Mason" pulled us through. In the last seconds of the 4th quarter Alton shot a 3 pointer to tie the game 85-85 and put us into overtime. It is said that Alton's performance was masterful and lead his team to play even better in overtime to ultimately conquer the win! They are calling him "Good Old Mason!" Lol!

It would be unfair to say that Bergen Op Zoom ever let their guard down, no way!...They played good and strong to the end. The ending score in overtime was 99-97. Alton had 32 points, 3 steals, 5 assists and 5 rebounds.
Fans in the stands thought I was a mad woman jumping up and down in 5 inch stilleto boots. Lol! I was so proud, excited and emotional. Lol! I prayed my heart out throughout the game because the win means so much to our team and our career. It's been a trying season and the end is near. Through it all we are so proud of our "Good Old Mason!" Lol!
At the end of the day we give God the glory and thank him for His grace and many blessings! We thank all of our family, friends and fans for your support, encouragement, photos, videos and most of all... your prayers.The final game is tomorrow (Sunday) against ZZ Leiden and we are praying that we walk away as Holland Cup Champions.(to be continued)
