Team Hustle 44, H1 Thunder 43, OT (13U)

CAL League, 13U Gold Division
Kilauea gym
We played hard. They played herd.
We made big shots. They made big shots.
We simply had too many mental errors and beat ourselves.

I instructed Jayden and Ryan to score 20 points apiece to give us our best chance. They were on pace with that until the second half. We had just 6 players and did our best despite fatigue. Jance hit two big 3s to give us a 4-point lead with about 2 minutes left. But selfishness and mental errors on our part cost us the lead.

Walter drove for a layup to tie the game with time running out in regulation. In the OT free throw shootout, our first two shooters missed. Their guys made 2 of 3 FTs to seal the win.

The practice court is our classroom and the lack of team practices has really stunted our basketball IQ as a team and as individuals. Not to mention our fundamentals like FT shooting.

Pups have hit a ceiling. The desire to show up for games is there. We need practice as a team.

Lineup: Chaz, Matthew, Jance, Ryan, Jayden, Walter.
