It is, in essence, the original Beautiful Game. While the design is wonderful DNA, the guts of the system is work ethic. Like anything else, nothing worth working for is acquired without blood, sweat and tears, and not necessarily in this order.

H1 Thunder 59, Asing Heat 13 (13U)
First game of Aiea 13-Under League is done. We got there early, got the nice bonus of having warmup time in the gym for about 30 minutes before tip-off.
> Good hustle defensively out of our fullcourt and halfcourt defenses.
> Good hustle offensively in fastbreak/transition.
> Good ball movement most of the time.
> Great sportsmanship.
Areas to improve on:
> Boxing out.
> Executing halfcourt sets a little more precisely.
> Conditioning. We had a lot of fastbreak opportunities, but were too fatigued sometimes to run to the corners for those open corner 3s.
We'll work on everything this week during practice. It's always good to have things to improve and work on.
It's a really good start to the winter season, having the scrimmage on Friday at St. Francis and today's first league game. Our returnees were cohesive and energized (mostly) and our new guys are stepping up. It's great to have depth and not have to worry about having enough guys, about the possibility of forfeiting. THANK YOU, PARENTS!
BIG MAHALOS to Brandon Higashionna, who shot video of our scrimmage on Friday, and Ray Ramos (Colin's dad), who shot video today at Aiea.
I forgot to get waiver forms signed for Walter and Javan, so please remind me at next practice. Also, we need to collect copies of birth certificates, especially for our new Thunder. If you don't have a U.S. birth certificate, any type of legal identification will probably work.
THAT WAS FUN :)
Lineup: Walter Berthold, Chaz Enos, Jance Apuya, Jonah Gormley, Javan Montiho, Micah Visoria, Ryan Higashionna, Colin Ramos, Jayden Ramos, Felcris Ahadain. Missing: Thomas Baptiste Takahashi, Chris Afe (football, injury), Josh Roberts (school team).
Next: Monday, 5:00 pm - Practice at Makiki Park.
WE LUB THIS GAAAME!!
