I was pleasantly surprised when i saw a valley team in ESPN the magazine. The team is taking a trip to Africa to play against the Mexico all stars. Does anyone from Drake know anything more about the trip?

It's not much, but here's a link to some discussion about it on the Drake board.

I just hope that while he's over there, Coach Creighton can find a Hasheem Thabeet clone for Coach Phelps.

Don't know Coach Creighton, but he must be a helluva guy. Congrats on great road trip.

The cool thing is, the trip is a long way from being over....the football game was just a small part of it. Now, the team is helping to build a school and an orphange, and later, they will climb Mount Kilimanjaro.
