6th Grade Blue-April 2-3

Dawgs 6th grade Blue had a competitive weekend. Although we went 0-3, it was close and the boys played their hearts out. Our first game we played a tough scrappy team that was similar in play to us. We went back in forth much of the game and ended it by losing by 1. We attribute the loss to the lack of rebounds.


The second game we won but the refs did not see it our way. In the first quarter we were executing beautifully. Our defense was tough and we ran our offense pretty well. We were up by 10. In the second half we let them back in and we went back and forth for the remainder of the game. In the last seconds of the game Nick Ohler shot a 3 to tie the game. We went into overtime. In overtime we went back in forth and they were up by a bucket with 3.2 seconds left. We inbounded to Brendyn Ikeda, he passed to Blake Stelzer and Blake took a half court shot a half second before the buzzer and hit it which should have won the game, but the ref denied the shot.

The last game we played a team that we lost to by 20 the last time we played them. We started out slow and played a bit intimidated. We were down 20 by the half. Coach Lars had to inspire them with a wake up call and we went man to man. It worked we had a run and got it back to down 10 by the 4th. We ended losing by 12 but better than the first time.

Strong play from Everett Libolt on both sides of the court. Good guard play and defense from Blake Stelzer, Brendyn Ikeda,

Nick Oehler, and Jaelen Stringer. Strong inside defense from Jeremy Lillis, Kazik Lewendowski, and Taylor Ittner.
