Ironman Thunder. 13U was eight strong today in a 31-16 win over Hawaii Kai: Kyle, Tanielu, Chris, Kodee, Sierra, Ryan, Kamakani and Walter. Then 15U played a couple hours later, had a bunch of missing guys and had to play only five all game: Tanielu, Chris, Sierra, Kyle and Sifo.
We led Kupaa all the way until the final 3 minutes when everyone was gassed, and Kupaa hit a putback layup at the buzzer. In OT, it was shootout (soccer) style. Our three free-throw shooters against their three. Nobody made a free throw. Then it was our next two guys. Sifo made his free throw, and one of Kupaa's guys hit a FT.
Then it was down to one FT shooter, and since all our guys had already shot, Sifo went back out and swished the FT again. Their guy missed and we won 42-41. The last time we won an OT game in CAL was two years ago when Isaiah and the boys beat the Sharks in the same FT shootout format.
Nerve-wracking ... but fun. Good job everybody. Pizza always tastes a little better after a couple of wins.
