Leading 10-4, the 5th grade boys relaxed just a little bit and a few turnovers led to some easy baskets by the other team. Just like that their lead disappeared and it was only 10-8.
But in the last two minutes of the first half, the boys went on a scoring barrage, scoring in three straight possessions to make it 16-8 at halftime.
The 5th grade (3-0) was at their best throughout the third quarter, getting numerous steals, scoring in transition and nailing their jump shots.
By the end of three it was 28-12 and it was pretty much game over.
Jonathan had a season high 28 points, with his shots coming in all shapes and sizes. He was hitting his jumpers from the outside, making his lay-ups on both sides of the court, and getting by defenders easily in the half court set.
Michael and Jason H. were great leading the fast breaks and all Jonathan did was fill the lane. With great timing, Jonathan was able to get the ball in stride to make the easy lay-ups.
His most impressive shot came in the first half when he was driving to the hoop and he hooked in a shot with one hand.
Jason L., one of the rookies of the team, had a very strong game, grabbing some tough rebounds underneath. He even had a nice put-back for his first two points of the season.
Michael and Jason H. both scored 4 points in the win.
A bright spot for the team that will not show up on the scoresheet was the play of Allen, who was able to get in position for several shots on the night, but he could not get the bounce.
Defensively, Allen was strong and most impressive on a play in the second half when he read a pass, stepped into the passing lane to make the steal.
