9th Grade Black-March 12-13

Game 1 – YBA - 63, Dreamers Traveling Team - 49
Game 2 – YBA – 48, CRR 9th Black – 52
Game 3 – YBA – 32, Granite Bay Bolts - 38

The YBA 9th grade Black team played in the JV division for their first tournament. With a team of very talented players, all with a high basketball IQ and understanding of the game, the team played very well for their first tournament together. Although there were 2 losses, the games were close throughout and with only one practice under their belts, we expect the team to only improve in the coming weeks! Highlights include excellent defense by all in the first game along with great hustle up and down the floor. Finding the rhythm in the next two games was a little more difficult with a team that includes players from 4 different areas. It won’t take long for the players to find that rhythm and turn into a highly competitive team at both the 9th grade and JV level. The team will play again this weekend in the 9th grade division so that they can develop that confidence and work on crucial shooting, but will continue to play at the JV level when playing local.
