So most teams are 2 games into the regular season for boys basketball and the girls soccer team, so some brief observations so far for every team. The good, the bad and the ugly.
4th Grade
The Good - The Twins look very improved early on in this season and overall the team looks like they are playing at a higher level. They will need to since they have moved up two divisons.
The Bad - A little inconsistent. When you are leading a team 12-2, the final score should not be 15-13. We saw both the good and bad of the 4th grade so far.
The Ugly - Nothing that ugly so far.
5th/6th Grade
The Good - Each player is playing for the first time and in two games, they already have one win. In fact, their loss in game one was only by 4 points, so definitely a lot of potential.
The Bad - Free throws. Only one made free throw so far in their two games, but that one free throw by Andy won them the game.
The Ugly - Too soon to tell.
6th Grade
The Good - Every player on the team from top to bottom has improved. This feels like the makings of another huge year for these boys. Everybody has had their moment to shine and we are only a few games into the season.
The Bad - They have played from ahead for most of the year and are prone to give up leads, which they have done a few times. That will be a huge priority. In their division, teams are capable of coming back and they will need to learn how to hold that lead.
The Ugly - Not much ugly.
7th Grade DMA
The Good - For better or worse, the team is very balanced and there is no one player who can take over, which can be good and then also bad. They are an athletic bunch.
The Bad - They have had two leads in two games, but have lost both. They can't squander opportunities to win games.
The Ugly - One play in particular in game one where they did not get back on defense, and just watched the other team get a rebound and put it back into the basket.
7th Grade
The Good - Jason Ng looks to be very improved and Aaron has already made a shot. Raymond continues to get better.
The Bad - Turnovers and fouls. They do both way too much.
The Ugly - Fundamentals. They don't have many ball handlers and are prone to traveling and losing the ball mainly because they do not have fundamentals.
8th Grade
The Good - They show spurts of being a really good team and could be 2-0.
The Bad - They're not 2-0, and are 0-2. They cannot rebound and until they do, it's going to be rough sledding.
The Ugly - Rebounding and lack of teamwork. This is a team that has played together for five years yet don't seem to completely click. They need to play for each other and not for individual accolades. You rarely ever see this team high five each other on the court, or have someone step in to pick up a teammate who has made a mistake.
The Ugliest - The inbounds last week that showed no effort or lack of concern about winning the game.
Girls Soccer
The Good - The big improvement from Game 1 to Game 2.
The Bad - Game awareness, which should get better with more games.
The Ugly - In the same boat as other new teams, way too early to tell, so no ugly.
