Disappointing Loss

Unfortunately we dropped another one Saturday morning. I think the 8:50 time slot was too early for a few of the boys. They just seemed to lack the hustle and enthusiasm they have had they past two weeks. We lost 19-22 and even had the chance to tie it up and take the lead with under a minute left, but we just didn't capitalize. To come back and make it that close was nice to see. We were down 4-11 at the end of the first and then tied 11-11 at the half. By the end of the third we were down again 13-20. So that made 2 quarters we held them to 0 and 2 points respectively. We just didn't play with the patience we have displayed the previous weeks.

Andrew did okay, he had a few rebounds (offensive and defensive) but no points. He is still trying to learn the game and how to move with and with out the ball on offense. His defense is his strength right now. Being the second tallest on the team (we have a short team) he usually gets paired up with one of their big men and typically does well guarding them. We are one of only a few teams in the league that dares play man-to-man, everyone falls back into zone coverage, but with our speed we usually do well with it.

We've dropped to 2-4 but after looking at the rest of the schedule we can easily finish 5-4 and make a good run in the tournament, when it really matters.
