Post-Game Monday

Monday, 9 February, 2015:

Much of today was spent recovering from Sunday's long round trip bus ride to Zaragoza. The rest of the day was spent going over game film of next Sunday's opponent, the high flying, 2-0, Conference leading Reus Imperials.

It will be our first home game of the campaign.

Three Boxes Arrived Today

Coaches in Ventura County graciously answered our recent plea for used helmets and shoulder pads to be donated to the Murcia Cobras program.

With the aid of the perfect coach's wife, Laurie Contreras, the 16 helmets and five shoulder pads were expertly boxed up and shipped via the U.S. Postal Service young Miss Laurie.

We still have one more box awaiting arrival but, suffice it to say, the Cobras were excited about the "new" gear.

Finally, the Cobras received a slew of wonderful photographs today from both the Zaragoza Hornets' photographer Anu Medina and our two Cobras photographers, Catalina Gracia Saavedra and Oscar Constante.
