                          Dominate This!!

Hello to all the fans of the Cowboys. This orbiter is being written not by 
your usual editor, Nick "God I am huge" Lubbers but by Kevin "I wish I 
wouldn't get sent down to the Earth Cowboys so much" Brinkman. I will 
apologize right off if this orbiter does not live up to the previous 
editions.

The Cowboys were able to pull out a hard fought overtime victory against the 
team known as Dominators. Even though the Cowboys did pull out the victory, 
it is believed that they should have won in a more comfortable fashion. The 
boys had some bright spots in the game though. Several boys were able to put 
in excellent games. Nick Lubbers led the boys with 18 and was able to 
connect on some key shots at the end of the game. Jeremy Jefferies was the 
key to boys victory in the first half. Mr. J-Fat was able to connect on 
several of his first shots and the other team was heard to say "Don't let 
the fat kid shoot, he can make it" as he crossed the half court line. He 
ended the game with a very impressive 16 points. His offensive production 
was amazing but the play that he should recieve "props" for was the 
defensive play at the end of the game. He was able to steal the inbounds 
pass and score an easy layup on which he was fouled on. He connected on the 
free throw and put the Cowboys up by two in the final seconds. Although the 
Dominators were able to connect on a buzzer beater to send it to overtime. 
In overtime the Cowboys were sparked by a big three pointer by the other fat 
guard Mike Ash. The boys were able to hold on and pull out the 60-53 
victory.

                            Next Game

The next time the Cowboys will be in action will be on June 4th at 6 p.m. 
Lets make sure all you Space Cowboys make it out to the see the boys take on 
the team known as Smith. I am also asking that someone step up and be the 
score keeper for tomorrow night's game. The regular score keeper Christina 
Batsche has "pulled out" at the last minute so the Cowboys will pay the 
person who accepts the challenge with an orange lanyard. If this isn't 
enough reward than I don't know what is.

Well I hope that you have enjoyed your reading of this edition and that it 
matches up with the past verisons.

                            New and Notes

J-Fat's scoring streak continues. Good work JJ!! There are no injuries to 
report of except for the emotional scarring of the Cowboys suffered when 
Mike "Brother" Brinkman didn't show to the game. What is going on with that? 
As his "brother" I want to apologize to the whole Space Cowboys community 
for his lack of loyality.
