PAA 15U Division, McCully gym
We played fairly well, made a lot of good plays and fewer not-so-good plays that we've seen in the past week or so. We got solid minutes from our bench, and we were aggressive while staying under control. Our fastbreak off steals was another plus.
We did miss too many layups, though, mainly because a few of our guys rush their shots instead of (jump) stopping and regaining control and balance before going up. That's correctable with a LOT of reps. We'll get those in.
The high-low post game was there, and though we didn't execute it often enough, it did make a difference against CK's zone. They had to respect our inside game. Tani drove and passed to Chase for a nice 6-foot jump hook to give us the lead with 5 seconds left. Then Tani blocked a shot by one of the CK guys driving to the basket to seal our win. We didn't play great, but we did just enough to win.
This gives us a 4-3 record in PAA and left us in 6th place. That was big because a loss would've pushed us lower and we would've been playing two afternoon play-in games today while we had a CAL Intermediate game scheduled at the same time. We've done quite a bit with the crew we have, small and somewhat inexperienced with so many guys out with injuries, etc. This was a win about heart and hustle, and that always feels good.
Lineup: Sponger Jhevin Mercado, Trinity, Sierra, Jayden, Ryan, Javan,Felcris Ahadain, Chase Santos, Gabriel Porras.
Did not play: Chris Afe (football), Josh M DE Jesus (?), Micah (?), Colin Micah Ramos (ankle), Kali'a Mielke (ankle).
Next:
12:10 pm - Stretching/warmups at Aiea gym outside court. 1:10 pm - vs Just Play, Ikaika League (Inter), Aiea gym.
WE LOVE THIS GAAAAME!!!
