6th Grade Black-(Played in 7th Division)-April 2-3

Playing with only five players in the 7th grade division, the odds were against the DAWGS. They came out and fought as hard as they could, but the opposition size was too much. The DAWGS ended up losing by 13 and the game highlight goes to Jashon, who grabbed 18 rebounds.


The second game for the DAWGS was against Carson Valley. With a full team, the DAWGS came out with incredible ball pressure and got some early baskets. They kept the pressure on, and ended up coasting to a 30 point win.

The third game was an “all 6th grade” game as the DAWGS faced the Predators 6th grade black team. A team they have not beaten yet, the DAWGS came out ready. They dashed out to a 10 point lead early with the help of pressure defense and two quick 3-pointers by Joshua. It was a matter of time for the Predators to close the gap, and they did. The score of the game was back and forth the entire game, and it was one that was fun to be a part of. With an incredible game by both Darren N. and J. Kim, and inspired play by the entire team the DAWGS gave it their all, but eventually came up short, losing by 5 points. Overall it was a great game by the team, and they learned a few things: (1)Mental lapses can cost you the game; you must play until the final buzzer sounds. And (2) the DAWGS are one of the elite teams in the area, being that they played one of the toughest teams in the area to the very end.
