12 hours (mostly) of basketball for the Thunder. First game, close for awhile before losing to a very good Lanakila squad. Held our own against guys two years older. Great to see those seniors/grads on the court one more time. Then we got past a young, gritty Aiea Blazers squad. Most of our boys then played for their school teams at the Kalani Varsity League. Then they suited up for the Thunder in the last game. By then, they were on fumes.
The boys gave their all, but there was almost nothing left, and Kalani played good basketball to beat us. It was hard to be upset about anything after the game. We have some things to fix, but they're very fixable. We get to see how things get better quickly. Two more games at the Aiea tournament tomorrow morning starting at 9:45 am. I hope the boys have a little more left in the tank.
Gonna miss Coach Bo, who has to work tomorrow and will spend the rest of summer/fall focusing on coaching football. Coach Larry will be in charge tomorrow on.
Mahalo to all the parents who brought food (burgers, fries, cupcakes, refreshments) for the kids tonight. Without our parents, there would be a lot of hunger! I lub this game.
NOTE: 13U and 15U practice 3:00 pm on Sunday. Gotta get ready for the playoffs!
