We were 7 strong tonight compared to 5 yesterday and that made a major difference. We played our game and opened up an 11-point lead in the second half. But HG is TALL, a 6-1 guy with nice shooting skills inside, and a couple of guys 5-10, 5-11 with size.
Last time we played them (might have been CAL 13U), they hurt us from the 3-point line, but we did a stellar job there defensively, and our 5-foot-6 and under team did pretty solid work being physical under the basket. Fullcourt pressure was key for us, too, and we can't do it as effectively with less than seven guys.
Felcris hit some big 3-pointers down the stretch. He and Colin made key free throws. We got plenty of great defense from Micah and Ryan. Little Josh, Walter and Jayven took good care of the ball and were mostly solid on defensive pressure. A great team win. Now we advance to the next round. Hopefully, we'll have at least 7 guys again.
BIG MAHALO to the Higashionnas for helping with transportation. Colin and Jayden needed a lift from Ewa, so they brought the boys in with them. Thank you, Arlene and Nathan!
Lineup: Walter Berthold, Jayven Ramos, Colin Micah Ramos, Ryan Higashionna, Micah Visoria, Josh Roberts, Felcris Jay Corpuz Ahadain.
WE LUB THIS GAME!
