6th Grade Black-February 5-6

The 6th Grade DAWGS Black had "one of those weekends". Despite going 2-1, the team had to play (and defeat) the same Predators Red team twice. This was due to a team not showing up, and another team being disqualified due to their team being a 7th grade team.


The team played an early 900 game against a good Spirit Got Game team. The DAWGS came out slow, and were able to take the lead by one point late in the game. But bad decisions and turnovers were their demise.

The next two games, as mentioned above were against the Predators Red team. The DAWGS came out the first game and handled them pretty easily, using better defensive pressure than the first game, and showing signs of energy.

Sundays game against the same Predators team was a little closer, but the DAWGS prevailed. Using pressure defense, they pushed the opposition into turnovers that led to easy baskets.

Overall, not the best tournament by the team, but there were many things learned. But these DAWGS are stubborn, and will learn and apply those things to come back a better team the next tournament.
