Great turnout today by our older and younger Thunder. We start Ikaika League JV Division this Saturday night, so it was solid to see some old and new faces back again. Work ethic overall is very good, and though I'd like to see more consistency with focus, I'm very appreciative to all our guys and gals for working hard today.
Emphasis today was defense, defense and more defense. Even if it hadn't been windy, that was the priority. Getting our man-to-man defenses fine-tuned is going to take time, but I definitely like what I see so far.
BIG BIG MAHALO to Coach Bino for helping out. I was stuck working later than expected when the volleyball match started late and ran late. Bino took all the guys who needed rides home to Kalihi. Thank you, Bino!
If the turnout continues to be hefty like today — a good problem — we'll start splitting the JV/15U and Intermediate/13U practices. Occasional combined practices, but mostly split. We'll figure that out later.
I'm pretty sure I can't remember everybody who was there today. It was more than 15, even with Trinity and Colin out with injuries. Josh R is on a family trip.
Lineup: Javan, Jhevin, Jance, Sierra Sisi, Raquel, Felcris, Josh, Mosi, Kali'a, Chase, Radyn, Michael, Tenchi, Skylar, Keanu, Ryan.
