The 7th grade boys missed their share of lay-ups, yet still won convincingly 33-14 in game one of the regular season.
Daniel is the early front-runner for most improved player as he scored a career high 15 points for the 7th grade.
Many of his baskets came via the fast break off of some great passing by Justin. Justin is seeing the court like he never did before and is not only contributing by scoring, but making his teammates better -- signs of a true point guard.
Defensively they were quick and because of that, the boys were able to get out on the fast break.
The Brandons, Tom, 6 points and Khuu, 4 points chipped in offensively and Aaron added a jumper from the wing in the second quarter as well.
On the score-sheet, you won't see Brendan, but he grabbed at least 10 rebounds in the game and made some real good outlet passes that started fast breaks.
It was good to see this team have players that can contribute when they aren't scoring the points.
The passing, defense and rebounding was solid and that was more important than the 7th grade's ability to score points. If they can consistently get the effort on the defensive end, the scoring will come a lot more easier like it did tonight.
From the get go, the 7th grade dominated the game, racing out to a 12-0 lead after the first quarter.
Minutes into the third, the score was 29-7 and the rest of the game was a formality.
Even without playing the entire 4th quarter, Daniel still finished with his career high of 15.
Brandon T. got some action as point guard for a good portion of the final quarter with Justin on the bench. Brandon was able to execute two real nice moves to the basket for four of his six points on the night.
James and Christian made their regular season CYO debuts.
