The 5th grade girls got some key buckets in the first half from Becky and Lily, and then hung on to win 12-8 to remain undefeated in the regular season.
Lily hit a free throw and hit a bank shot just outside the key and Becky had a nice put-back in the 2nd quarter that extended the 5th grade girls' lead to 8-2 at halftime.
Since they only scored 4 points the entire second half, those baskets in the 2nd quarter were instrumental in the victory that helped the girls improve to (4-0) on the year.
Kaela scored a modest 7 points, and could've easily broken her career high had she converted on her lay-ups. She missed as many as seven lay-ups that could've made this game a lot easier for everybody involved.
Despite the misses, she did convert on a crucial play in the 4th quarter when she drove to the basket and picked up an and-1. That stretched their two point lead at the time to four, making it a two possession game.
This was the toughest game for the 5th grade this season, and they were not sharp on both sides of the court.
They turned the ball over way too many times and had trouble controlling rebounds, something they had done so well the past week or so.
On the bright side, other players are now starting to get involved with the scoring like Becky and Lily and it will be important for those two, as well as the other new girls to start contributing on a regular basis.
