Varsity Blue-April 23


Game #1
We came out playing Team Sage, they were a team of Freshman, but they had good size. Even though it was a 9:00am early game we got after them early defensively. We forced them into bad shots and this allowed us to win by 20.

Game #2
Our second game was against Bishop-Manogue, from Nevada. They were second in the state last year. They were bigger then us. We came out pressuring these guys full court to wear them down. We forced them to turn the ball over. Eventually, even though they were bigger then us we began to out rebound them. We had to come back from being down. This was a great win. I'm very proud of this win.

Game #3- The Championship Game
This game was against the Mighty Play Hard Play Smart from Sacramento. This was a great Championship Final. It pitted two teams against each other that have similar styles, pressuring, running, getting down the court and transitioning, getting layups and trying to speed the other team up. We went back and forth the whole game. We were winning the back and forth battle for most of the game. We went down at a crucial point in the fourth quarter, but after regrouping we got back at it defensively, turning them over, getting layups and stops. Jeremy eventually, after two timeouts and 35 seconds off the clock, hit a game winner with three seconds on the clock.

Great team chemistry and comradery is what holds us together down the stretch in tough games and allows us victory. This was a great weekend guys!!! Thank you.

Stevie and Steph were great team leaders this weekend.
Lawrence get defensive player of the weekend
Jeremy gets best offense this weekend
