8th Grade Blue-February 5-6

I am seeing our team grow as we go through each tournament. Our first game against Sylvan, as my team already know, put a very sour taste in my mouth that I cannot get rid of. We went into the game knowing the results would be a win for us. We played to the level of our competition and they played above and beyond. Although it was close from start to finish, they held on to give us a very tough loss. In our second game against Fairfield the Dawgs knew they had to have a strong outing. Max and Tanner controlled the tempo of the game pushing the ball up the court and getting plenty of offensive help from Amran and Vance. New to the starting lineup, Vinny added a lot of speed on both offense and defense. Josh came out of his shell and showed Fairfield how dominant a force he can be inside. While proving they had no answer for Josh we finished with a convincing win! Although we didn't win our third game, we played the East County Hoyas very tough in a fast paced uptempo game. I believe we ran out of gas in the 2nd half but it was good to see my guys continuously break the press of E.C.H. and going strong to the basket. Great Job Dawgs!
