Tomorrow at 7:30, the class of 2009, our 8th graders will play (to my memory) their first playoff game in years. They may have made the playoffs back in the 4th grade, but they have not been there since.
Their first match-up against the team they play St. Brigid was a back-and-forth contest, until St. Brigid put up a few threes in the 4th quarter to put the game out of reach. In that game, the 8th grade shot terribly from the free-throw line, missing 10 free-throws. They can't repeat that same mistake if they expect to win.
The 8th grade team is quick and relies on the 3-point shot, and will need to make a few to be in this game. But it boils down to the basics for this talented team. They need to do the little things like box-out, make their lay-ups and free-throws, and not allow easy baskets. A bit redundant since that's the key to almost any game.
Be there to cheer them on to the championship.
GAME TIME: 7:30
LOCATION: Star of the Sea (345 8th Ave)
