Falcons fall to IMHOTEP 77-64

The Falcons were attempting to get a little revenge for the loss they suffered at the hands of IMHOTEP in the 2007-2008 campaign. The current North Catholic team is a little different than last year’s team, but no less talented. Some believe there is more overall talent on this team than what was on the PCL championship team from last season. The revenge the Falcons sought, was not to come.

I followed the bus to the game, which was probably a mistake. With all of the traffic and such, I ended up somewhere out in Olney, not knowing exactly where I was as the bus blew through a yellow light, leaving me in the dust. But, thanks to my hand-dandy iPhone, I was able to figure out exactly where I was. Once I determined that I was on the LaSalle University campus, getting to 21st and Godfrey was fairly easy.

The visitor's locker room

When we got to the school, there was a game already being played in the gym, and the locker rooms were not yet available. So, the IMHOTEP administrator who was directing us, put the team in the school library (see photo below). The team changed into uniforms in an empty classroom before taking the floor for some warm-up shots. After finishing with the warm-ups, the locker room was now available. It was more like a large bathroom. Actually, it was a bathroom. The home team gets the boys bathroom and the visitors use the girls bathroom, which has a door that opens directly onto the court. Inside the bathroom, there is a small locker room which barely holds a team and coaching staff (see photo above).

NEXT GAME
Come out on Friday night as the Falcons open the regular season, when they host the Friars from Monsignor Bonner on the brand new floor in the Pit. The Falcons won a non-league contest against the Friars. Bonner made it to the PCL semi-finals last season before getting knocked off by Archbishop Ryan at the Palestra.
