6th Dawgs Black-(played in 7th division) March 26-27

Playing in the 7th grade division for the 2nd week in a row, the DAWGS again found themselves playing in a bracket of unknowns. New teams and new players meant it was going to be a fun weekend for the DAWGS.

The DAWGS faced the Reno Ballers 7th grade team the first game and came out strong. Mixing up their defense and using incredible passing and teamwork, the team handled the team from Reno easily for a 70-30 win.

The second game of the day was against E-Time Hoops 7th grade team. Thought the team played an E-Time Hoops 7th grade last week, this was yet another team. Suffocating defense again was the key, and the DAWGS used their strong guard play and beat the E-Time team 61-28.

The Sunday Championship was againt the Folsom Rage. A team that had also "walked" through their first two games. The DAWGS found themselves down eight points early in the game, and it appeared as if it was going to be tough to comeback as the opposition was playing controlled basketball. Switching up the defense, and applying more pressure to push the tempo of the game, the DAWGS began to chip away at the score.

The defense led to easy baskets, and with some key play from the "bigs" inside, the DAWGS were able to take the lead and hold off the Folsom team for a 41-36 win.  Our 6th Grade Dawgs went undefeated in the 7th grade division!
