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.

Small ball is what our younger guys do best. They've been battling teams with 6-footers, guys 6-2, 6-4 for years. Great effort and teamwork tonight from start to finish.

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!!
