Saturday Recap: 8th grade wins big again

**Highlights updated below**

Another dominating performance from the 8th grade girls
The 8th grade girls showed no sign of being tired from their game last night as they won big 29-3 to close out the first half of their season.

They got off to another great start and lead 13-1 after the first quarter and pushed their lead to 23-1 at the break.

Tianna led the team with a game-high 11 points. Melinda scored 8 points after going pointless from the field a night before.

Pretty much every facet of the girls' game was clicking. Offensively, they were able to score in the half-court, fast break and from the free-throw line. Defensively, any time you can hold another team to only a single point in the first half and 3 total points the entire game, they are doing something right.

Their demeanor more than anything is what has been most impressive. They no longer hope to play well -- they expect to play well.

Right now, they sit at (4-0) midway through the regular season. There is still a long way to go, but this strong start will definitely give them a boost the rest of the way.

Tiffany and Emily both scored 4 points and Sally had 2 points.

3rd grade plays their best game
The 3rd graders lost 12-1 today in their latest contest, but played the best they have all season. Defensively, they held their opponent to only 12 points. This team they played today creamed a team that blasted them a few weeks ago. Progress is being made.

Offensively, they are more aggressive and getting off a lot more shots than they did a week or so ago. Pretty soon, they should be hitting these shots.

Miracle scored the only point of the game for the 3rd grade girls.

4th/5th grade offense missing
Trailing 4-3 at the half, it looked like the 4th and 5th grade team had a chance to break through and pick up their first win of the year. The only problem, their offense didn't score a single point in the second half.

Defensively, they are doing a solid job, but they don't generate enough turnovers. They don't see passing lanes and get steals, which lead to fast break points. They're too station to station and the girls aren't quick enough to get off shots with defenders in place.

On the offensive end, they had some opportunities to cash in but they just can't make the shots. Currently, they average only a little bit more than 4 points a game, which means if they can't hold the other team to less than 4 points, they can't win.

After going scoreless the last two games, Cynthia scored 3 points in the loss.

Baseball
The baseball team played a strong game today but fell 8-3. It was the most runs they've scored so far this season and also the least amount of runs they have given up. Tommy got the start at pitcher in the team's third game of the year.
