UPDATED 1:41 A.M. -- HIGHLIGHTS: AT THE END OF THIS POST...
The 5th grade got a career high from Justin, 20 points, which has to be the most I've ever heard of or witnessed in a St. Mary's uniform for a 5th grader, as the 5th grade won their game one of the regular season 25-20.
They were up 20-12 entering the fourth but got a little too complacent and gave up 8 points in the final stanza. However, they put a 5 spot up and held their lead to pick up the w.
The 7th grade Red Team dominated from start to finish, as Miles was just a beast on the boards. He alone scored 10 points in the first quarter, all off of offensive rebounds. Miles had a double-double and 14 points on the afternoon while Jeremy had 14 of his own. 35-12 was the final and the 7th grade split their back-to-back and are now (1-1).
The 8th grade is also (1-1) after a disastrous 4th quarter where they were outscored 11-0. Up 24-20 entering the final quarter, they absolutely collapsed on the press breaker. Brandon couldn't handle the ball, Elliot and Gary's inbound passes were slow and inconsistent, Tommy was picked in the back court, one of his seven turnovers in the game. In all, the 8th grade team turned the ball over 16 times, the main reason their opponent was able to get off easy shot after easy shot. It was a 4th quarter to forget as they ended up on the losing end 31-24.
Kelvin hit his first 3-pointer of his career in the 3rd quarter that gave the team a 24-20 lead.
Finally, the 6th grade made their regular season debuted and were dealt a loss. Jason and Hartman scored for the 6th graders. Right now, the new players are having trouble getting acclimated to game experience. They are a bit slow to the balls and are having trouble getting into the right positions.
However, they are getting off a lot more consistent shots on the offensive end and are improving on a game to game basis.
