The 3rd/4th grade boys are sitting at .500 after a second straight win, their second in four days.
After losing the first two games of the season, the youngest team in the school has rolled two straight, their latest a Wednesday night 15-12 heart stopper.
It was a tight game through but Nabiyou continued his hot streak and scored 12 points while Kenneth added in 3 points.
They're (2-2) on the season.

Kenneth added the other two points for the boys.
They are now (1-2) on the season and play their next game Wednesday night.

8th grade drops to .500 in another sloppy effort
The first game of 2014 was not kind to the 8th grade boys as they dropped to .500 on the year in a deflating 21-14 loss.
In their previous game, they made so many mistakes all over the court, but because of a weaker opponent, they got away with it. Not the case Saturday afternoon.
Raymond, who sat out the entire 3rd quarter, was not 100% scored only two points. And as he goes, the rest of the team goes as well.
It could easily be attributed to rust but the other team also had a few weeks off as well. Their opponent also played with only five players, and allegedly their best players weren't even present at the game. And yet still the class of 2014 only mustered 14 points the entire game.
Plain and simple, you cannot win games in division five on a consistent basis by scoring in the teens, especially not when you're in the 8th grade.
Jason Ng who made his return after a one game absence, scored 6 points, but was 2-for-6 from the free throw line. He also hasn't made a 3 pointer since last year.
The rest of the team also struggled and missed numerous lay-ups. Their rebounding wasn't too much better.
It's hard to find some positives when everything seems to be going south. At (2-2), their focus should really be having a good practice where they can rectify their errors, instead of thinking too far ahead of themselves.

7th grade shakes off slow start and wins third straight
Six out of the seven 7th graders scored Saturday afternoon, and the boys shook off a slow start to win their third game of the season 45-24.
One of those players who found the basket was Spencer, who hit his first two shots of the season in the 3rd quarter. He created his first shot off the dribble and banked in a shot and then hit a lay-up off of a nice pass a few minutes later in the quarter.
There was some rusty early on as the 7th grade (3-1) faced their largest deficit of the season, down 10-3 a little more than halfway through the 1st quarter.
Leslie called a timeout to chew out the team and they woke up from there. From that point forward, they went on a 22-2 run to end the first half and took a 25-12 into the break.
Michael had his best game of the season, hitting two 3 pointers and lead the fast break, setting up his teammates nicely by the basket.
The team as a whole was really good in transition, with several great passes, like they were running a 3-on-2 or 2-on-1 practice drill. Unfortunately, the game ball wasn't the best and several usual gimme lay-ups rimmed out of the cylinder.
Jason Hou returned to the lineup after a two game absence and scored two points on free throws at the end of the first half. Even though he only scored two, he contributed in ways that do not appear on the stat sheet.
He has pretty good basketball IQ and made a great steal in the 2nd quarter. He read the play and got the ball, then wrapped a pass around to Jason Lei who scored two of his 11 points on an easy shot by the basket.
Jonathan did not have the hot hand like he did before the break, but still managed to tie Michael for a team high of 12 points. Allen added two points.
Defensively, they were pretty solid and forced the other team into a lot of bad shots. Part of their comeback was due to their press, which suffocated their opponent.
And the defense led to offense, which led to a third straight win.
