Giving up 15 points isn't too bad at the 4th grade level, but it's a problem when you only make one shot the entire game on offense.
Brendan hit a long range jump shot late in the first half, which accounted for the only field goal made by the 4th graders Saturday afternoon, as the boys lost 15-3.
They trailed 8-3 at halftime but were outscored 7-0 the rest of the way.
On offense there is just not much happening and the boys are struggling to get good looks at the basket.
In a half court set, the boys are still not skilled enough to make good crisp cuts and passes, therefore their shots are forced up or they turn the ball over.
Like most other CYO teams, fast break points are where they usually cash in, but without any solid rebounding, the team is left with station to station play.
Besides Nathan, nobody on the team consistently grabs rebounds, and Brendan is forced to play post, since the team is undersized and nobody else can grab boards.
In an ideal situation, Brendan should be playing up top on defense so he can take outlet passes off the rebound.
But this team is not build this way as they are very small compared to other 4th grade teams.
The 4th grade hits the break at (2-2).
