It didn't take Aaron long to get the monkey off his back, as he made his first career bucket early in the 2nd quarter in 7th grade's 26-12 win.
After not making in grades 4-6, Aaron made his return to the court this year and is already making strides.
The 7th grade jumped out to an 11-0 lead and held a 14-2 advantage at halftime.
Jason Ng had a career high 10 points, and Raymond hit 6 of 8 from the free throw line for 8 points.
It will be a quick turnaround and a bigger challenge Saturday as they will be without both of The Twins, who are playing in a piano recital at the same time.
Their two post players, Garrick and Ryan will need to rebound and be tough down low like they were Friday night.
The game might've been even more lopsided if the team was better fundamentally.
Both of The Twins have great speed but cannot dribble well to say the least. And Willard also has some trouble handling the ball.
They do have a makeup of a team that can do well as they jumped another division after last year's playoff appearance and (7-1) regular season record.
But the basic triple threat, and looking up while dribbling still escapes their routine.
The story of the night, even though it was 2 points, was Aaron's made shot.
When you can get players up and down your lineup contributing, it brings the spirit of the team up, as many of Aaron's teammates congratulated him after his big shot.
Thomas, Joseph and Garrick all added in 2 points in the victory.
