Plain and simple, the 5th grade girls are going to be a tough team to beat.
Lily scored a career high 10 points, as the 5th grade girls had another dominating performance, winning 26-4 in their penultimate game of the season.
The game was well in hand by halftime as the girls led 18-2 heading into the break.
Kaela had a game high 12 points,but most notably dished out another handful of assists.
Earlier in the year, she would take it herself even though some of her teammates were wide open. Now she's doing a better job of getting her head up, setting up her teammates for easier shots.
Becky and Michaela also added 2 points.
Defensively the girls are very quick at the top. Whether it be Ivy, or the twins, Cecilia and Christine, the girls really get after the ball once the other team crosses half court.
Their pressure causes havoc for the other team and that leads to a lot of steals and fast break opportunities.
And that's where Kaela goes to work.
Not only can she take it to the bucket herself now, but with her teammates running the lands and getting open, the 5th grade's fast break is even more of a threat than it was before.
In the half court set, Lily took advantage of her height and was able to shoot all day over the other team. She is undoubtedly one of the most improved players this season as she had trouble adjusting to the game early on in the season.
One of the nicer plays Saturday morning was when the ball was rotated nicely from the point guard, to the wing, and then to Lily who banked in her shot.
Now the shots that once weren't even hitting the rim, are now going in on a consistent basis.
At (7-0), the girls have clinched first place in their division and will play the No. 4 seed in the playoffs.
