From junior forward Andrew Freeman:

August 22 - The Titans have been victorious in our first two games. We beat San Carlos, 93-45, and everyone got a chance to play in the game.
We were treated like rock stars arter beating the Costa Rica National Team by 20 points (89-69). We signed what seemed like hundreds of autographs and lots of people were taking our photos.
The trip has been awesome so far. We watched a volcano erupt, had iguanas crawl all over our bodies, and visited an orphanage. Whitewater rafting, canopying and other stuff still to come.
Once we are in San Jose we will be staying at a 5-star hotel and we are all looking forward to that
