Special mahalo to Uncle Scott (Zachary's dad) for filming this thriller 🙂
Kona Anderson with the game-winning pull-up jumper with :04 left in a wild comeback win. Bearcats hit a string of 3's and opened the lead to 9 or 10 points in the first half, but our Thunder Pups chipped away and played solid defense.
Zachary played clutch defense in his first game and Duke hit a key high-post shot against their 3-2 zone to spark the rally. EZ splashed two huge 3's to keep the comeback going.

Good hustle all around, but we are in need of everyday conditioning. Good teamwork, Pups. Back to practice on Monday. #h1thunder #clutchkona#greatteammates #teamwork #FUNdamentals #calbasketballleague

Big mahalo to Donavan Tihpen for filming this battle!
Slow start, but we managed to rally for a 10-8 lead after one quarter. Good defensive pressure in the second quarter. We're not playing our best basketball consistently, but we will get there more more reps and focus at practice. Good job, Thunder Pups!

Mahalo to Caleb's friend, Keio, for filming this game. Our defense is improving and so is our fastbreak. The work our Pups are putting in every day makes a difference. A lot of good teamwork today. DJ and EZ shot well from the perimeter, good ball movement overall against Reign's zone. 
Pups opened the lead to 21, and we got some rest for the 8th grade game that followed. Our Thunder Pups are now 1-1 in league play. #h1thunder#workhardplayhard #FUNdamentals #greatteammates

Huge mahalo to Uncle Dean for filming our first 8th Grade game of winter season. It's a work in progress, our more experienced Pups learning to lead the way and our new Pups getting comfortable. 
We trailed by 12 at halftime, then went on a 14-2 run to tie it at 21 at the end of the 3rd quarter. We led 23-21.
We were right there at 25-all, still playing good defense when we had a breakdown and let RTG's beat shooter make a wide-open wing 3 with about 1 minute left.
We missed our last few shots but overall this was a good lesson for our Pups. Kona and Noel had some strong plays in the paint, and EZ and DJ continued their solid shooting from the earlier 6th grade game.
We'll be back to practice and work on getting better every day. #h1thunder#workhardplayhard #greatteammates

Slight adjustment today. Less laps and more sprints. Lot of controlled scrimmage work today. Our pace is slow and we're working on increasing that. Hopefully everyone gets on board and works with more urgency. Aiming for fastbreaks rather than slowbreaks 🙂

Wolves 34, H1 Thunder 33, OT (CAL 6th)

CAL 6th Grade League
Damien gym

Special mahalo to Uncle Sam for filming this thriller. Wolves are young like we are, most the same team from the recent Damien 5th Grade League.

We started slow, down 11-3, rallied to 13-all, and EZ hurt his ankle early in the 2nd quarter. We were down 21-13 at halftime.

EZ recovered and in the 3rd quarter he hit two 3s and a 2, and we tied it at 21. The gym was rocking. We took the lead in the 4th quarter and after DJ hit a 3, we led 33-29 with 1 minute left. Rocking even more.

The whole time our guys on the bench were chanting defense! That was a huge show of Thunder power today.

We had two turnovers after that, just a matter of rushing a bit. Wolves hit a shot inside, and then a wild bank shot at buzzer. In the FT shootout, we missed both shots and they made one, game over.

Great comeback! We are very, very proud of our Thunder Pups. Plenty of heart and courage against a big, talented Wolves squad. Learn from every experience and keep getting wiser and better. Hopefully we run the floor much better next game. And keep practicing 50+ free throws every day. I think Wolves are a Gold-level quality team, and we played like a Gold team today, too.

That was a pretty fun game. More fun next weekend 🙂

2019: New Uniforms

The Lakers' "Hollywood Nights" design of 2013 is the one that everyone could agree on. Going back almost two years, there were almost no designs new or throwback-old that we could get a consensus on among our Thunder keiki. Mahalo to WUCO Athletics (Coach Jimmy Miyasaka) for nailing the design and colors and balance so intricately as always! Thank you for blessing our Thunder Pups once again.

Mahalo to our Ace Anomynous for filming tonight's game start to finish. In fact, Ace filmed everything in one file, so I'm loading it raw onto our YouTube page! It'll be ready to view tonight. Mahalo Ace!

Special mahalo to Auntie Aviva and Coach Darrick Branch for helping the league by running the scoreboard for our game. The league director Marco Johnson asked for their help.

Our 5th Grade Thunder Pups played their hearts out against a resilient Warriors squad. We knew they would be tough and scrappy, and we matched their toughness and intensity.

EZ hit a FT with :04 to seal the win. Another learning experience for our Pups 🙂

Damien League is officially over. They ran a good League in their first run ever. Mahalo to Coach Marco, Jill and their support staff for inviting us to play. Any time we had questions or a request they did their best to communicate with us. I appreciate that 100%.
