Our first road game of Clausura brought the same result as our previous trips to San Ramon: a loss. After a close first quarter, San Ramon used a three point barrage in two minutes of the second quarter to break out a double digit lead, an advantage that they protected for the rest of the game.Marco Castrillo had a strong shooting night; in Apertura he spent long stretches on the bench, but Jorge Arguello started him and gave him important minutes. The change worked, as he was aggressive offensively all night, shooting form the outside and taking the ball to the basket.
Down by 11 at the half, we had some hot shooting of our own to make it a five point game. Nick Leon started hitting his outside shot to get us close. Just when it felt we had clawed our way back into the game a turnover and a pair of threes changed up the score, erasing the fleeting glimpse of a close game. Even when a San Ramon player got disqualified with two technical fouls, we were unable to capitalise on the situation, never really putting the game in doubt.

- We have statisticians in this league at every game. Almost ten days after the game, I still don't have the stats from this game, a common occurrence in the games out west (San Ramon & Grecia). It's always an ordeal to get the stats after games out there. Maybe the email doesn't work. Or maybe it's a problem with the league office. Or maybe it's a problem in the administrative department in Escazu (and I wouldn't rule out the latter two). I still don't understand why this isn't an automatic step in wrapping up a game. I still don't understand why the league commissioner doesn't have a distribution lists with each coach on it for these and other news. Just when we think the league is advancing, we take a couple of steps backwards.
