* Exhibition game, Lanakila gym
Just Play forfeited the Ikaika League Intermediate Division quarterfinal game to us, so we were fortunate to have an exhibition game set up by a guest team, Team Dream. League director Clay Tang was kind enough to set that up for us.
Good teamwork and hustling tonight. I asked specifically for strong and sustained box-outs against this tall, big team, and our Thunder did a solid job with that. Still room for improvement, but we got a lot of improvement in that area from just about everyone. It makes me excited about seeing the game video knowing our guys were fearless out there despite being outsized by a 6 to 12 inches and anywhere from 25 to 75 pounds against their big guys.
Big mahalo to Brandon Higashionna for shooting the game video again volunteering for the 55th game in a row. You are awesome, Brandon!
Lineup: Chaz, Skyler, Trinity, Jhevin, Jance, Jayden, Josh R, Micah, Colin, Ryan, Josh D, Felcris, Jonah.
Next:
Friday - No practice.
Saturday, 6:30 pm - Stretching/warmups at McCully gym outside court. 7:30 pm - H1 Thunder vs. LBC (Ikaika JV League playoff). **Note: I have to work again on a Saturday night - state volleyball championships. Jason Apuya has offered to pick up some guys. We could use one more driver so that Jason can pick up Tani Mosi and Chris, and another driver to pick up Felcris and Josh D.
Kali'a is not playing on Saturday due to a dinner commitment, so we need everybody in full force. All hands on deck!
Sunday, 3:00 pm - FT Challenge. Please help the cause and collect your FT Challenge Sponsors. See me for the forms or let me know and I'll e-mail them to you. Goal is for every player to sign up at least 10 sponsors at $1 per free throw. We raised $2,000 last year thanks to everyone's hustle. That went a long way towards league fees, uniforms, basketballs, travel costs and more.
This is our best fundraiser, much more practical than a car wash ($400 rent).
