Teams bounce back Monday night from slow starts

The boys basketball teams collectively lost three games on Sunday in round one of their tournament games. The 5th and 6th grade atoned for that by winning big in both of their games.

Neither game was in doubt as the 5th grade won easily 32-2. The other team didn't even score a basket until the final minute of the game. Jonathan had a game high 18 points and Michael, a rookie 5th grader had 10 points.

Defensively the team looked a lot more energetic and quicker to the ball. Having seven players as opposed to five helps and keeps the bodies on the team fresh.

With the win, they advance into the winners bracket and play Wednesday night at 7 p.m.

The 6th grade played a very slow and tepid first quarter, only scoring on Grant's breakaway lay-up. But they got it going in the second quarter and took a 10-0 lead into the half.

Raymond had a game high 9 points, while Joseph chipped in with 6 points in the fourth quarter. Even after Raymond left the game, the team still continued to score, which is a good sign for the team's depth.

Grant had 4 points and Garrick had 2 points. Both Ryan and Jason Zhao hit a free throw.

They also advance in the winner's bracket and play Wednesday night at 8 p.m.

And after playing their first game yesterday, the 3rd graders had at it again in round two of their tournament. They trailed 11-4 at the half and managed to cut the deficit to 11-7 by the end of the third quarter.

But that's as close as they got, as they fell in round two by the final of 17-9. Brendan scored all 9 points, including a shot right before the buzzer to end the game.

The final game of their tournament will be Saturday at 10 a.m.

Sixth grader, Joseph, got the 6 points. His brother, Thomas, played a great defensive game.

Michael (5th) needs to learn how to tie his shoes by himself.
