17U's winning night (updated)

Our 17U were much more sound tonight in a win over Kaiser, which brought some of their better players for a change. We won by about 15. We didn't box out consistently,  but it was an improvement over last game against Punahou, when most of us didn't box out once all night.

Offensively, much smoother, particularly when Isaiah was at the point. Pick & Roll. Defensively, both presses worked tonight fairly regularly. I hope everyone studies the game video later and learns from mistakes. This is the time of year when we can work on weaknesses and become well-rounded as a team and as players.

Doesn't hurt that we have fun as a team on and off the court, and that good attitude and leadership is tricking down to our younger teams. More on the game video later. I'm fried.

Friday/Saturday game schedule

Friday: 2:00 pm Pickup at Kaimuki HS; 2:30 pm Pickup at Makiki Park; 3:00 pm Warmups at Maryknoll; 4:00 pm 16U vs Maryknoll.

I was planning on bringing our 13U to play, but Maryknoll informed me that they're switching some sophomores to the roster for this game, including four of our Thunder guys. They're gunning for us since we've beaten them twice already. Who's up for this game?

Post-game meal? Pizza Hut (on Beretania by Safeway), probably.

Don't forget, we also have a Saturday, 11:00 am game against Kaimuki in the Maryknoll JV League.

Update, Friday, 10:00 am: I'm editing recent and not-so-recent game videos, so here's one from last month — 17U vs. Hawaiian Punch, NJB All-Net League game at Palama gym.
