8th Grade Shaw-April 30-May 1

YBA 33, Hurricanes Orange 38

The Dawgs got off to a great start in game 1 by playing strong defense and taking care of the ball. The shots stopped falling in the 2nd quarter, and the team got sloppy with the ball in the 2nd half. Turnovers and a few late defensive rotations cost us the game against the eventual champions. Manveer's ball pressure on defense forced the Hurricanes' normally sure-handed point guard into several turnovers. Jared and Ryan led the offense, and Jade did a great job on the boards.

YBA 40, Clovis Broncos 28
More good defense kept YBA in the lead most of the way on Saturday afternoon, although continued inefficient offense allowed the Broncos to stay close. We finally hit some shots in the 4th quarter to pull away for the win. Jade and Bret led a very balanced attack, while Ryan and Colin cleaned the boards.

YBA 63, Davis Wildcats Black 31
The team was ready to go from the opening whistle. Manveer and Bret forced numerous turnovers in the press, and the Dawgs did a good job of converting their fast breaks. The halfcourt offense finally came to life as well, with Colin getting rewarded for his hard work inside, Nicholas moving well without the ball, and Ryan hitting his outside shots. Grady played a strong overall game and did a great job of setting up his teammates
