Wheeling, Wet Virginia

That's not a typo. For the second straight year, the Beast of the East tournament was plagued by rain. Last year we lost four games to the weather and it was worse this year. The rain started falling an hour before our first scheduled game and we were rained out of all six scheduled games by the time we pulled out on Saturday.

It's too bad, because this is a great event when all goes well, with teams from all over the US and Canada. As bad as I feel for our kids, I feel even more for the team from California that spent $20,000 to go to Wheeling and watch the rain fall.
