The first game of 2014 was not kind to the 8th grade boys as they dropped to .500 on the year in a deflating 21-14 loss.
In their previous game, they made so many mistakes all over the court, but because of a weaker opponent, they got away with it. Not the case Saturday afternoon.
Raymond, who sat out the entire 3rd quarter, was not 100% scored only two points. And as he goes, the rest of the team goes as well.
It could easily be attributed to rust but the other team also had a few weeks off as well. Their opponent also played with only five players, and allegedly their best players weren't even present at the game. And yet still the class of 2014 only mustered 14 points the entire game.
Plain and simple, you cannot win games in division five on a consistent basis by scoring in the teens, especially not when you're in the 8th grade.
Jason Ng who made his return after a one game absence, scored 6 points, but was 2-for-6 from the free throw line. He also hasn't made a 3 pointer since last year.
The rest of the team also struggled and missed numerous lay-ups. Their rebounding wasn't too much better.
It's hard to find some positives when everything seems to be going south. At (2-2), their focus should really be having a good practice where they can rectify their errors, instead of thinking too far ahead of themselves.
