Rising Stars were on the schedule, but they had a game at another gym/league so there was a switch. We got great effort on both ends from today's lineup, 7 strong: John Chow, Cody Ogoso, Sierra Murobayashi, Isaiah Visoria, Kyle Moraga, Sisifo Lauvao andIamhaka Johnson. It was Haka's first real action since he got a stress fracture of the ankle several weeks ago.
We actually led by 10, but Kailua was deep, tall, long. We ran out of gas in the fourth quarter. Kailua took a 43-42 lead on a fastbreak layup. I called timeout. They scored four more points on fastbreaks, called another timeout. Not much you can do when the tank is empty except try and execute and be precise, get back on defense.
Everybody gave it their best. We have room to improve. Our guards should master the mid-range game both in halfcourt and transition offense. That will go a long way, especially against tall teams. Overall, fun game for most of the way. I'm glad we didn't have to forfeit, and the way everybody hustled and worked together was awesome.
Next: Thunder 17U vs. Hoops4Christ, Sunday, Oct. 6, 1:00 pm, Kilauea gym.
