Another solid effort from our 13U. A lot of hustle, a lot of trying ... but we definitely need to get back to practice. Having four games in four days is fun, but win or lose, it's easy to see what we do well and what we need to improve on. That only comes with practice, reps and practice and reps.
We had a fair week, going 2-2. That game on Wednesday against Kapolei, well, if not for the scorekeeper's error, we probably win that game in regulation. But we learned a lot from that game.
The win over Aiea Blazers II - we showed a lot of patience after struggling with our shooting in the first half. Our defense kept us in the game until the shots began to fall.
The win over the Tar Heels showed what we can do with a full lineup — Tanielu and Chris there. Their experience and smarts help so much. But everyone pitched in. Both of them were tired from (I didn't know this until today) playing three football games on that day. Chris was coughing a lot, and both of them are sick today. They need rest.
The loss today? The video will show us that there's a lot of work to do with almost every element of the game. That's good. Now I know what we can focus on at practice on Monday and Tuesday night: FUNDAMENTALS. Crush1 is a solid team and I like playing against them. I hope we get to play them again.
Thanks to all our players for giving great effort and hustle. That always gives me hope for the future. And the future is bright!
