Jackie had a huge coming out party Saturday in the 5th/6th grade's third game of the year, as he scored a career high 9 points in the team's 18-12 win, their second straight victory.
After missing the first game and going scoreless last week, Jackie opened a lot of eyes with his strong play down low. Although not the biggest player by any means on the court, he does one simple thing a lot of players all ages have trouble doing, and that's make lay-ups.
There was a brief scare in the 1st quarter when Spencer fell awkwardly and looked to have hurt his knee. It didn't look good as he put his leg on the bench as it was being iced down. The injury ended up being not that serious as he then returned later in the first half.
For the second straight week Adam scored 4 points, one off an out of bounds play and another on a nice drive from the high post. He uses his size and strength down low to create space, and he executes nicely by the hoop.
Through three games, this team of eight rookies, half of them 5th graders, already has two wins.
Eric Lei got the first two points of his career late in the game on a beautiful fast break drive to the basket.
In fact, Eric was one of many of the 5th/6th graders who did that throughout the course of the game, but the only one to convert.
