4th Grade-February 5-6

Our fourth grade YBA DAWGS played in the “Lov’in Basketball VI Tournament” last weekend and had some great competition. Although down a few players the first game against the D1 All Stars, our boys put a lot of pressure on defense and really showed some skill and spunk! They seemed to feed off of the momentum of the game which carried them to a winning score of 43 to 24.


In our second game against the MVP Flight, our boys played well but just couldn’t match the moves and rebounds of the other team. At the half we were down 17 to 11 and just couldn’t quite climb back for a win.

On Sunday, we played against the Predators and started the game off with a BANG! The boys were sporting some spin moves, shot fakes and were following through with their shots which brought us ahead after the first quarter, 1 to 8. But the second quarter we lost some momentum, scoring only 3 points to their 16. We did out score them overall for the third quarter and our defense held them well, but we couldn’t dig deep enough to come back and lost 37 to 30 after putting up quite a fight.

But the icing on the cake this weekend was a team dinner/gathering at Chase’s house after the games Sat. What a wonderful time we all had eating a great meal, recapping the games, playing a little knock-out out on the sports court, and just making connections and getting to know one another better. What a terrific group of players and wonderful families supporting them all!
