YBA Dawgs Blue 7th grade team went 1-2 last weekend, beating the Carson Valley Cougars, losing to the Red Raiders and the All Star Predators in a rematch of a championship win earlier this month. The Carson Valley team was pesky and kept the game close till the fourth quarter. Logan Echeverria made some more beautiful left handed shots, and has announced he will attend UCLA and major in ambidextorial studies. Jack Kearns hit a 3 and then a quick layup in the 4th quarter to finally open the gap and eventual win by 15 points.
The Red Raiders stifling defense, exceptional ringer players, and accurate shooting was too much for the Dawgs and they ended our 7 game win streak/undefeated March. The Dawgs played tough till the very end, maximizing coach Brad's hockey line substitution strategy. Dom Pericin had some incredible fast break plays. Alex Isola showed some great spin moves in the key. Kyle Turner smartest play of the season: volleyballing a missed FT with 0.3 on the clock. The ref said "clever - and it woulda counted!" Cole Kelly evangelized right up in the face of these PAL opponents.
The Sunday game vs the Predators was close throughout and ended in a one-point loss. The game was even closer than it sounds. The Dawgs matched up against this athletic team very well, showing great improvement over the past couple months. Over the weekend, Alex Patton showed some strong moves under the basket. Nick Cherry showed some excellent defense and ball handling skills. Offense award to Alex Patton. Defense award to Cole Kelly. Hustle award to Logan Echeverria. Scorekeeping award to Ryan Gee of the Whitney Wildcats all-male competitive cheer team.
