The 6th grade DAWGS Blue team went 3-0 this weekend. In our first game, we beat our opponents (Reno Ballers Silver) by 40 or so points. Since this was a weaker team we decided to run through all of our plays and tried to execute all the different options. Though we played a weaker team, we hit our baskets, boxed out strong on the rebounds and passed hit all of our cutters.
Unfortunately we had to play the same team for our second game. We won the second game by 30 or so points. It was a repeat of the first game.
The last game we came out a bit too confident and we played a much more athletic team than the day before. We were down to 6 players and we started sloppy. We were down 8 by the first quarter and a bit less by the half. This new Etime hoops team was athletic and stronger than the boys expected. Coach Lars had to wake the boys up at the half with a strong message. In the second half the boys reacted and executed like we new they could and brought it back. The tied turned when Brendyn Ikeda stopped a break away by taking a strong offensive foul underneath the basket. Nick Ohler started hitting 3's, Jeremy Lillis stopped shots with great shot blocks and made some baskets, Kazik Lewendowski dominated the boards and added to the score with strong put backs, Taylor Ittner had strong underneath defense and got some rebounds, and Everett Libolt scored baskets and made crucial free throws to win the game by a point with only 6 seconds left.
It was our best team effort we have seen yet to come back from behind and win.
