UPDATE: Saturday marathon

(Posted Sat Aug 15 on FB)
We rallied from about 18 down to within 37-36 before losing to the Sharks, 44-36, in Ikaika JV League this morning. I'm glad we didn't forfeit; early this morning we had just 4 players. And I'm proud of our guys for their courage in rallying back. Just need to play smarter early in the game. It's been a trend lately.

Drove to Kilauea from Salt Lake and our Varsity Thunder beat Crush 57-41 in a physical battle. We were behind in this early, too. I keep hoping I don't have to raise my intensity level for us to play great defense and box out, but me being calm doesn't seem to work at all with our older (JV/V) guys. Fortunately, we buckled down and got much more physical. Strong, balanced basketball by our older guys. Nice work on fullcourt pressure.

Third game was 13U Gold, and we were up 17-1 at the half (I think). Really solid team defense in fullcourt and halfcourt. Absolute hustle, and our Varsity guys set the tone in the game earlier. D-Up rallied in the final quarter to get within 6, but we closed out well defensively and won 24-16.

Final game is tonight in PAA JV League at Kaneohe gym. Game time is 6:45 (corrected time).

We play Team Hustle.
WE LUB THIS GAAAAAME!!
