PAA League, 15U Division, Kilauea gym
We were down 26-14 with 10 minutes left. Then our fullcourt pressure took control. Chase, Kali‘a, Colin, Josh D and Tanielu did a great job of settting good traps, deflecting passes and converting turnovers by OTB into points. Within 3 minutes, we were ahead. After we scored again, it was a 15-0 run.
During the big run, we had ZERO turnovers. Beautiful. After Kali‘a hit a 3 on a feed from Josh D, we went on another run.
Our guards, especially Sierra, did a smart job of containing OTB's best 3-point shooter in the second half. We got solid defense and overall play from everyone tonight. Good team win, Thunder! Another very tall team, you did the job.
Lineup: Trinity, Josh R, Sierra Sisi, Javan, Felcris Ahadain, Josh M DE Jesus, Tanielu Mosi Afe, Ryan, Chase Santos, Kali'a Mielke, Gabriel Porras.
Injuries: Felcris (wrist) played a few minutes and that was it. It's been just 3 days since he jammed his wrist at practice, so he got a little game action and that was enough. Chris (shoulder), Micah (ankle), Jance (ankle) are also healing up.
Kyle Moraga made it to the game, but didn't play. In the traffic and hustle, his uniform was left home while he waited at school for a ride. There's always next time.
MAHALO to Brandon Higashionna for shooting the game video.
Between the rain, traffic and tracking down one of our guys before the game, didn't get to the gym until less than 1 minute before the tip-off. My apologies.
