Weekend Round-Up

6th grade wins again by just 1

Another game, another one point victory for the 6th grade. A shot rattled out in the last five seconds of the game, and once again, the 6th grade escapes with a one point win, 15-14. They had a huge run to increase their lead to 15-8 midway through the 4th quarter and gave up 6 unanswered points.

Yet again, they found a way, despite turnovers and missed lay-ups, to win. They are now 2-1 on the season.

8th grade improves to 3-0
The 8th grade won 34-27 Friday night to improve to 3-0 on the season. This team still has a lot more potential, even though they have yet to lose a game. They are collectively, one of the best outside shooting teams in recent memory. Some of their shots were not falling early on, which explains why this game was not more lopsided, because clearly they were the better team.

A quick 3rd quarter run, from fast breaks, gave them a good cushion and they hung on to a 7 point victory.

7th grade comes back to win 3rd straight
As well as they played last Saturday, the 7th grade played even better today. Down as many as 9 points in the second half, the 7th graders rallied back for a one point victory, 41-40. The game was tied with less than 30 seconds left, and Tommy made a free throw to untie it.

They almost gave the ball away when an inbounds pass went wrong. But in the end, they prevailed to move to 3-0 in the season.

Briefly: 3rd grade lost this morning and are now 0-3.
