But this latest news is certainly a step – an important step – in the right direction. ............................... Going native in the bush Our Aboriginal guide tells us about “bush tucker" – lizards and wallabies, berries and roots. He offers us little fruits, “the best you'll have all day". They taste of damp tissue paper. At our picnic stop by a billabong, he reaches into his bag to get his lunch: a can of baked beans, writes Paul Miles Evan Yanna Muru, who leads Aboriginal tours of the bush in the Blue Mountains, a couple of hours' train ride from Sydney, refuses to indulge any fantasies that Aborigines dine on possums. “I have baked beans when it's cold and salad when it's hot," he says, sitting on rocks near a waterfall. The area's geological formations and rainforest trees are newcomers compared to Evan's ancestors.
Boys Basketball Insider: Tight race for Suffolk League VII ...
Now, almost two weeks later, Center Moriches and Southampton find themselves tied with a league-best 6-1 record.
"We needed that Southampton win," said Ward-Adams. "At the end we kind of broke down a little. They basically took it over and the lead was gone after that. We just threw away that win."
Any coach in the league will tell you the same: Unlike in years past, League VII now provides the best competition in Suffolk County. And with a title race so tight, every moment must be seized, not wasted.
Four teams - Center Moriches, Southampton, Port Jefferson (5-2) and Babylon (5-2) - stand a chance at claiming the top spot. Plus, Hampton Bays, a team that has rebounded from a shaky start and is now 3-4, could be trouble for other teams down the stretch, now that sophomore Bruno Cavallo is suiting up for the Baymen.
