That's two wins in two days. 13U defeated Santos on Saturday. Having depth and good teamwork makes a major difference. I hope this team sticks together and makes a title run. We're still missing Jerson, Pilly and more players, but we've got plenty with this group of ballers.
17U game today didn't happen. The other team, Hawaiian Punch, didn't show up on time, so the game was a forfeit win for us. They showed up late from another league (Ikaika), so we scrimmaged. Before that, our guys got 30 minutes of shooting practice indoors (Palolo gym), which was a treat. Lineup was Chase, John, Cody, Mike, Tanielu, Chris, Kyle, Sierra, Kaelen.
As long as we're short-handed in 17U, our younger players will fill in, and I'm glad they're willing to help. They know the new plays (everything from 45 to McDouble) and play hard, just as hard as the older Thunder. 17U is always for our 17U - the guys who are 16, 17, as long as they show up.
It is definitely a good time to be 12 or 13. You get to play 13U and 15U games, and when 17U is short on numbers, even more games. Next 17U game is Wednesday and I'm hoping we get our full 17U lineup there.
BIG MAHALOS
Thank you to Mark (Walter's dad) for buying everyone chocolate-dipped cones at McDonald's today.
Thank you to the Ogoshis (Chase's parents Roland and Dora) for bringing cookies and cold drinks to games this weekend.
Thank you to Eric (Sierra's dad) for always shooting video, transporting the boys and bringing Sierra to every game and practice possible despite one of the most hectic schedules of any of the Thunder players.
It was a fun weekend!
