PAA League, 15U Division, Palolo Valley gym
Another great effort by the Thunder keiki. Some of our guys were tired from the earlier intermediate game (CAL), but Kyle and Chase did a great job of carrying us against a BIG, physical Kahuku squad.
Like our earlier game, we had a 9-point lead, but working our rotation in to rest starters, we lost most of that lead. Then our starters finished the first half and we opened the lead up some again.
We still had rebounding/boxing out issues, but it was better in this game. And we got some solid minutes from our Pups in the second half. Kahuku missed a shot from the right corner in the final seconds and we got a hard-earned win. We had to do it without Colin in the second half after he suffered an ankle injury.
Big heart by everybody, especially Kyle (played all 30 minutes) and Josh, who hit a lot of key shots.
Lineup: Javan, Jhevin, Jayden, Trinity, Colin, Ryan, Chase Santos, Kyle Moraga, Josh M DE Jesus
BIG MAHALO to Lorelai and Coach Bino for shooting game videos today. Also, BIG MAHALO to our "assistant coaches" Keanu Ksb Pratt and Kali'a Mielke. Means a lot to me and our Thunder that they come support the team even though they can't play.
