Aiea 13U League, quarterfinal round
Good win for our guys. Battled Aiea's big man again. This time, we focused on keeping him occupied constantly near the basket with boxouts and double teams and it worked. Big, big props to Micah, Javan and Jayden for doing good work against a talented 6-footer who did damage on us last time.
We were down early, but came back and took a 24-17 lead lead by halftime, playing smart basketball. Blazers tried to pressure us near halfcourt (similar to what Pearl City All-Stars did yesterday against our 'Pup Squad'), but Felcris, Colin, Javan and Jayden played smart and moved without the ball, made good passes and took quality shots. Our fastbreak was the key to getting a decent lead.
A little sloppy and rushed to start the second half, but once we settled down, we finished strong. Hopefully, our Pups watch and learn from our 'vets'.
Our semifinal game will be on Sunday, Feb. 8 — bye next week due to Super Bowl — at 10:40 am. We still have a game on Super Bowl Sunday, 12:00 pm at CAL League (Kilauea gym).
Lineup: Trinity, Jance, Walter, Chaz, Javan, Colin, Felcris, Micah, Jayden.
Josh R is sick today and couldn't play. Chris had football combine training. (The Nike Combine is next week.) Jonah had a CAL League game with his first team, Pearl City All-Stars. Ryan came to watch and cheer his Thunder on. He's out until late Feb with a fractured left wrist.
WE LOVE THIS GAAAME!!
