JV GAMES
By Leslie
Game 1 - Team Justin came out in the game dominating offensively in the first half. All four players - Brendan L., Sophia, Damon, and Nathan L. - contributed to the team's scores. Team Tiff experienced
many missed shot attempts in the first half but Nathan A. found his rhythm in the second half, leading Team Tiff to a one-point victory over Team Justin. Final score 10-9.

Game 2 - Team Justin bounced back from their previous loss with a strong 18-9 victory over Team Amanda. Team Amanda did not leave the game without putting up a fight, seeing aggressive attacks to the basket by Calvin and Ethan L., who also sunk in a 3-ball in the first half. (Yes, we're counting threes in the camp tournament.)

Game 3 - Team Tiff experienced an offensive drought for much of the first half in their first game, but turned it completely around for their second matchup of the day. They came out victorious over Team
Amanda with a 24-14 win. Team Tiff didn't seem to miss a beat with Nathan A.'s dominating lay ups, Sophia's quick shot choices, and Damon's daring drives to the basket. Team Amanda's Calvin went down late in the second half with a banged knee. Brendan came in as an emergency sub to finish off the game.

Justin Luo, Allen, and Amanda made their referee debuts during today's camp tournament games.
