The 6th grade girls lost their first game of the season 20-18, in a game that they easily could've won.
Marissa fouled out in the middle of the 4th quarter, despite having her best offensive game of the season. So one less ball handler in the lineup made it even more difficult for a 6th grade team that has so much trouble taking care of the ball.
Offensively, they played a solid game, putting up a season-high 18 points, but the two big problems were their inability to box-out and rebound.
Rebounding is so important in the game of basketball, and not many people realize that. When the girls were unable to get rebounds, the other team had constant second chances to score.
They also turned the ball way too much. They got away with it last week when they were able to sneak away with a win, but they weren't able to dodge it today. Tied at 18-18, a turnover led directly to the other team's game winning basket.
The 6th grade will play again tomorrow at 12.
