H1 Thunder 54, LBC 49 (V)

Ikaika League, Varsity Division, Palolo gym
Biggest comeback win in Thunder history. Down 9 at the half and 19 or 20 after that, our reserves went in and sparked the comeback with energy on defense. Mosi took command, attacking LBC's man defense with control and precision, the best I've seen him use his speed, picking his spots.

With our young subs Jayden, Colin and Josh R plus Sierra (three treys) in the game with Mosi, the lead went down to 6 points. After the rest of the starters returned, they sealed the deal with great defense and smart offense.

It was an ugly game for us during those first 22 or so minutes. Some of us are way out of shape, and we didn't execute anything as a team. But the last 10 minutes, everybody played with the heart of champions. They showed what they are truly made of.

Just one game, but it means a lot. We kept our composure and confidence. Now we just need to get ourselves into serious competitive physical condition.

Lineup: Sierra, Jayden, Colin, Ryan, Tenchi, Kali'a, Radyn, Mosi.

Next: Wednesday, 4:30 pm - Practice at Makiki Park.
