4th grade pulls it out...8th grade outmatched

The 4th grade is giving the 6th grade team a run for its money for scariest games to watch.

The 4th grade barely hung on to win 11-10, when Daniel hit a free-throw half-way through the 4th quarter to give St. Mary's the one point lead. They had numerous chances to put the game away, but they were unable to make their lay-ups.

They almost gave the game away at the end in 6th grade fashion, by throwing the ball to the other team right underneath the basket. They failed to make the lay-up, and Justin dribbled the ball out to run out the remaining seconds. They are (3-4) with one game left tomorrow night and still mathematically have a shot at the playoffs. They will need some help on the way though.

8th Grade Outmatched
Sometimes you lose and you just need to accept it. This was one of those games for the 8th graders.

The other team, who had three losses coming into this game, looked nothing like a three loss team. The team they played looked like an undefeated team, as they were stronger, faster, quicker...everything better than our 8th graders tonight.

Our 8th graders didn't play their best but they weren't terrible. They were simply outmatched. There's something strange when a team that has lost once gets thrashed by a team with three losses. It just doesn't happen too often.

The only way they could've won this game was to probably make all their shots, and that just doesn't happen ever.

If this game recap doesn't make sense, my apologies. I am still having trouble figuring out what happened.

Friday Night Games
Both the 4th and 6th grade play at CYO Serramonte tomorrow night. 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. starts so try to catch both games.

CYO Serramonte is located at 699 Serramonte Del Ray Blvd.
