***UPDATED--HIGHLIGHTS UP!!! PLUS BIRTHDAY VIDEO
Tonight was one of the best played St. Mary's basketball games in the last few years. The 7th grade Red Team played as complete of a game as you could and won 38-21. They were good on their lay-ups, played some timely defense and were able to hit some outside shots.
Justin bounced back from a rough game and played some really strong defense, and did a great job taking care of the ball as point guard. In the first half, he took an outlet pass and took it right to the rack, something missing in his game the last few games.
Miles had a Miles-like game collecting rebounds on the offensive and defensive ends. Michael Ng hit another 3-pointer and had a few outside jumpers. Jeremy played solid on both ends of the court and the night culminated in a beautiful pass play that resulted in a Michael F. basket.
It was everything you could ask for and more as the Red Team is playing at an extremely high level right now. They have scored upwards of 30 points in almost every game they have played this season. With more efforts like the one on the floor tonight, this team will definitely be tough to beat.
6TH GRADE BLOWS LEAD, GAME
The 6th grade went into halftime up 6-0 and it looked like they were heading towards win number two on the season. Then the second half and the full court press started and the team began to crumple.
They were unable to take care of the ball and that led to numerous easy baskets for the other team. The 6th graders were held scoreless in the second-half and were on the receiving end of a 10-6 loss.
This game was in their hands, as the self-inflicted wounds were too much to overcome. Their ball movement is pretty good, but someone on the team needs to take control and take it to the basket a little bit more. This being their first year, they were foreign to backcourt pressure, which led to a sloppy last two quarters. It's definitely a lesson learned for the 6th grade boys. They are a resilient bunch and will have a better outcome in the near future when faced with pressure.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO TOMMY
