Ikaika League, Intermediate Division, Aiea gym
Great teamwork, team defense, POISE and focus by our young Thunder this morning. We overcame our mental errors, rallied from 12 points down, played great defense against a tough, tall and quick Court Kings team. I can't remember who made the go-ahead basket. I know Ryan and Micah hit clutch 3-pointers and Felcris drove and dished to Josh R for a big layup during the comeback.
Then we made a big defensive stop in the final 7 seconds when Court Kings missed a baseline shot. We were missing Colin (ankle) and Jonah (family/Easter) and Josh D (hand), but everybody pitched in and stepped up. Great heart, great team win. You guys really, really deserved this one, and I'm proud of you either way, win or lose, today.
MAHALO to Brandon Higashionna for giving generously to his Thunder brothers and sisters once again. Yesterday marked his 50th game behind the camera as a volunteer, so today is No. 51. (I used to pay him for his awesome skills before he insisted on giving his time freely.) Thank you, Brandon!
MAHALO to Mrs. Chang and Sanford for coming to Aiea and supporting all our kids once again. Thank you for another generous donation, Mrs. Chang!! smile emoticon
