Ikaika League, Intermediate Division, Lanakila gym
Always a battle with H4C. We made plays, did enough defensively on the boards and when we pressed full court. We had more turnovers on bad decisions than usual, but overall still a solid team win against another bigger team. Winning this championship in Ikaika League's first-ever Intermediate Division is definitely attainable IF we play a little smarter and finish our box-outs. I edited the game video (thank you Chase Santos) and we had at least five box-outs that we didn't finish all the way, and we gave up rebounds.
We average more than 1 point per possession, so that's more than 5 points we missed out on, plus points we gave up on H4C's putbacks. That's the difference between winning and losing if it's a close game. A championship game. So let's fix this.
Lineup: Jance, Jhevin, Trinity, Chaz, Skyler, Josh R, Jayden, Josh D, Ryan, Felcris, Jonah, Micah. Micah led our scorers with 14 points.
MAHALO to Ray-Marlyn Ramos for picking up Josh and Felcris before the game since I was working in Kailua. I'll be totally unavailable on Saturday covering two OIA championship baseball games (Division I and II) in Waipio, so Coach Larry and Coach Bino will be in charge. Have fun, Thunder!
Next: Friday - no practice.
Saturday, 5:40 pm - Stretching/warmups at McCully gym outside court. 6:40 pm - H1 Thunder vs. Sharks A.
If you are unable to attend a practice or game, call or text me at 551-1054 beforehand.
WE LOVE THIS GAME!!
