In the early matches we didn't have the intensity that we needed. They beat us at a few weights I thought we could win, but we didn't wrestle well. You have to credit Rapids, they got the job done.

It's like a teeter-totter. If you want the other end to go up, you don't just stick two dumbbells in your hands. You move as far away from the middle as possible.

I started lifting weights last summer, so I am improving with the shot put. That has always been one of my lesser events that I didn't care for in the past.

Bill Gurley

It is a simple model, although realistic enough to capture the principles of locomotion. First, you have a stick figure model, with a bunch of segments joined by joints.

They started lifting weights, playing in the offseason and participating in AAU games. I had 6-foot-6 and 6-foot-5 centers.
