When you can't take care of the ball, you can't win games.
Stricken by turnovers from start to finish, the 4th grade boys were doubled up 20-10 and handed their third loss of the season. Their record now sits at (2-3).
Nathan had a team high 6 points, but it was not enough to overcome a stagnant offense, which had trouble getting off shots the entire game.
The other team seemed to get a good shot on almost every possession, quite the contrary to the 4th grade team that stalled trip after trip.
They tend to bunch up on the court which makes it a lot easier for the other team to defend.
Brendan didn't have his best day running the point, dribbling into traffic several times and lobbing passes that had no chance of getting to the target.
Like many teams, the 4th grade is too focused on working the ball to the right side. Even when the other team overloads their defense towards that side of the court, stubbornly, the boys continue and try to pound it towards the right corner.
In the bigger picture, their playoff hopes are on life support.
In a division where the top teams all have more victories, the 4th grade will most likely need to win their final three games in order to make the post-season for the second consecutive year.
Brendan and Calvin both scored 2 points in the loss.
