Neither team played like they wanted to win, but at least one team played like they didn't want to lose, and that team was the 5th/6th graders who prevailed in a offensively starved 6-5 victory.
Eric L. scored the first three points of the game and then had to leave with a stomach cramp. He then returned later in the first half and added a free throw for his game high 4 points. Yes, his game high 4 points.
Either the rims weren't kind to either team or nobody wanted to score.
Jackie grabbed an offensive rebound late in the 3rd quarter and put it back for the team's final basket of the game, and somehow that bucket held until the final seconds.
Up by a point with less than a minute to go, the 5th/6th grade escaped a scare when Spencer blindly threw a ball into the other team's hand, which led to a fast break lay-up.
However, continuing the trend of the game, the lay-up was missed and the 5th/6th graders hung on for dear life.
They definitely had their chances to score, and could've put up close to 20 points had they converted half their shots by the basket, but nothing they shot went in the basket.
On the defensive end, they made enough stops and grabbed enough boards for win number three on the season.
At (3-2), they are in a good position for a playoff push, as the boys currently sit in the fourth and final playoff spot in only their first year of basketball.
