Could be over!

Hello Everyone,

Well, we got a huge win this week! We beat Polpharma and are now tied with them in the standings. We have set ourselves up nicely for top four and home court advantage. I wish I could be more excited about this. This team has done something already that no team in kotwica history has done, from what I have been told. It does not mean much to the city or the owners. (I’m not talking about the fans here, just the ownership). I don’t want to get into details on my blog because this is not the place for that, but the ownership is trying to take advantage of the players and the team. Which I think is a travesty, considering what this team has battled through all year. Skip’s injury and we still went on an 8 game win streak, we have had 3 presidents, and we don’t even take a bus to the games anymore (we take like airport shuttle vans). We have not been paid on time one time this year, in any other job you would be hard pressed to still have employees that give 100% even with not getting paid. Like I said, I’m not going to get into details, but what they are trying to do now is beyond disrespectful, it is one thing to be struggling as a business, but it is another thing to LIE to your employees OVER and OVER and OVER!!!!

Anyway, we will know by next week what the rest of the season has in store. Until then I apologize that this is not a happy blog with photos and lame stories (or complaints)!! The link below is to the box score and some good photos, unfortunately you can’t save the photos! This was not my best game, but I did more good then harm!

Brandon, the whole town is proud of the team, it is our biggest dream comming true. I havent missed kotwica's game for 15 years and this is the best season ever. Nobody expected that you will be playing for top 4 and now we are one of the candidates for medals. This is very dissapointing what the ownership is doing now and the fans want to appologize for them. We are 100% with the team you are our heroes. I hope and pray that Kotwica and this team could survive and I hope that we will be able to finish this season playing.
Even if the players decide to live kotwica before finishing this season I understand that - it is your job. But I pray that the city will find the money to finish this season normally and you will be able to finish the season with the medal.
I hope we wont destroy that, I hope kotwica will survive, please do not destroy that.
Take care BC and let us know if you have any final decisions, I hope you will stay till the end of this season.
