A superb mahalo to Uncle Pete "Maverick" Mitchell for filming this morning's game. Massive mahalo to Auntie Selene Valdez Horita​​ for feeding the Pups hot dogs and popcorn after the game 🤙🏼

It was another epic battle against WOW. When we played them a month or so ago, it went into OT and Amac hit the winning FT in overtime.

Today, the game went back and forth, a lot of great plays by each team. Avari hurt an ankle during a drive to the basket, and WOW took a 22-18 lead in the 4th quarter. He returned and combined with Eisley on two big baskets to tie the game.

We took a 26-25 lead on a FT by Eisley with less than 1:00 left in regulation. We gave a foul that was ruled a shooting foul, so WOW has a chance to win the game with :04 left. They made the first FT to tie, then got the offensive rebound on the miss. Avari blocked their 3-point attempt at the buzzer.

In OT (FT shootout), Avari swished his FT and WOW missed. Eisley's FT tumbled out, and WOW banked in a FT to stay alive.

Amac then banked in his FT and WOW missed to give Thunder the win. Second time Amac has made a FT in OT to beat WOW.

Our 4th Grade Pups play them again tomorrow morning, and then a game vs. Hoop Dreams.

Great defense today by TJ, Miki, Amac on WOW's ballhandlers. Dylan learned a lot today in pressbreaker, and helped on the boards. We got some valuable minutes from Riley, too. Everyone did their part!
