We started strong, led 14-3. But with only 7 Thunder, it was tough keeping up with another tall team. The refs let both sides play physical and that wore us down since our only big was Kapaa. No Chris Afe, Micah Visoria and Walter Berthold tonight.
We did pretty well with the press and halfcourt zone, but fatigue was a factor. Jared had just finished school practice. Josh is sick. To save our legs, I called off the press in the second half. The Tar Heels hit some big 3-pointers to get come back and take the lead.
Our halfcourt offense was pretty good until the final 8-9 minutes when we really tired and we were scoreless. It's tough asking our guys to give more under those circumstances, but they gave their best and I am proud of them!
We'll go over a few things tomorrow before our next game. We need all five guys to run the pressbreaker right. And we need to know our basic plays, like Princeton and Monday. We'll get there, getting better one day at a time.
And, I hope, we'll face the Tar Heels in the playoffs.
Today's lineup: Josh Roberts, Felcris Jay Corpuz Ahadain, Jared Elwin, Kapaa Nishimura, Joshua de Jesus, Ryan Higashionna, Javan Montiho. Mahalo to Kali'a Mielke for helping coach on the bench.
Next: Friday, 4:30 p.m. - Warmups, Kilauea gym outside court. 5:30 pm - Thunder vs. HomeGrown (CAL Intermediate). Full strength lineup, please!
Manoa Kualii Moe, Kyle Moraga, Chris Afe, Hsien Pascua, MIcah Visoria, Walter Berthold.
Saturday, Feb. 1, 11:50 am - vs. Asing Heat (Aiea Intermediate Division). Warmups 10:50 am.
Sunday, Feb. 2, 11:00 am - Shooting practice, McCully gym. No games due to Super Bowl Sunday
