What a victory. We suited up just five of our 13 guys on the Int. roster. We were pulling away in the second half, up 10 or 12, when fouls became an issue. Kapaa fouled out. Then Jared fouled out.
We finished the last 3-4 minutes with three players. The Sharks caught up and tied the game, but Ryan and Micah hit clutch free throws. Then, with the game tied in the final seconds, Micah broke past a double-team at halfcourt and scored on a tough drive in traffic against two tall defenders. His shot hit the rim, bounced high and swished through with :06 left.
We gave out a couple of fouls after that since we only had 4 team fouls. The Sharks still got a pretty good look at the end, but Micah altered the shooter's 3-point shot from the wing and he missed as time ran out.
Talk about a miracle win. That's the first time we've had to finish a game with just 3 guys. I don't think anybody in the gym thought we had a chance in those last minutes. I'm proud of our Thunder (again)!
Everybody played strong, especially Walter, who scored a bunch of points in the second half on 3-pointers and fastbreak layups.
Today's lineup: Ryan Higashionna, Micah Visoria, Jared Elwin, Walter Berthold and Kapaa Nishimura.
Next: Sunday, 8:00 am, Car Wash. We'll be done at 3:00 pm. EVERY PLAYER SHOULD BE THERE!
