The 6th grade boys broke through with their first victory of the year Saturday morning with a 16-13 win.
Bill had a huge 1st quarter where he scored 6 of his 7 points, and had two big blocks as time expired at the end of one.
At one point in the 2nd quarter, the 6th graders had a 10-0 lead but that lead dwindled as the game worn on.
The other team started hitting some outside shots and cut the lead down to as little as two.
Offensively, the 6th grade (1-2) went into a scoring drought and had only two free throws in the second half, outscored 9-2 in the final two quarters.
Amarit and Ethan both hit a free throw each in the 4th quarter.
After struggling to find their rhythm Friday night, they distributed the ball around a lot better Saturday with every player on the team getting off a few shots.
Ethan hit a two jumpers in the first half and had 5 points on the day.
With less than two minutes to go, the 6th graders were clinging to a three point lead. They managed to do just enough at the end to make sure their first win stood.
Even though the ball was in their possession with less than 10 seconds to go, they turned the ball over leaving a second on the clock, giving the other team one second for a desperation heave.
The other team was able to get off a shot at the buzzer, but Amarit got a piece of the ball and the game ended.
Some fans of the opposition were yelling for a foul but the referees did not blow their whistle.
Larry Wong made his first appearance on the bench as a 6th grade coach.
