7th Grade Black-May 7

Dawgs Black 48 vs CCR Black 25

CCR always gives us difficulties, today we executed to the best of our abilities. Played terrific defense vs their best player and rebounded and defended very well.

Dawgs Black 102 vs PHPS 14
Taking the press off after 5 minutes did not slow down the Dawgs. It was the highest shooting percentage game we shot all year close to 75 o/o from the field. Sean Boyle had 12 steals and JB had the memorable 100th point.

Dawgs Black 53 vs All Star Predators Black 50
In a tight game YBA played a hard fought game Sean Boyle had 4 3 pointers and Mike Downing came up with a huge rebound to seal the win and weekend championship.

6th Grade Blue-May 7

We went 2-1 in a strong D1 one day tournament.


Our first game we won by a bucket that Everett Libolt made in the last seconds of the game. We played a team that we had lost to the last time we played them. They had a tall line-up but we were able to keep up
with them with good team play. Our guards penetrated well and our bigs finished well. Our Rebounding is getting better which helped us get the win.

Our Second game we won by 3 to a team that we have not seen before. We were up in the beginning but went down after the half. We got back up in the 4th and hung on to win. The team played team ball to get all
involved in the game.

The last game we came out and played the other team that was 2-0 and we played lethargic. we were down 18 at the half. We put on our trap press and got back to with in 10 by the fourth, but we ran out of steam and ended losing to a more aggressive team. We abandoned our team play and tried to beat them individually.

Though we went 2-1, the coaches our proud on how the team played over all and will use the one loss as a driver for the next tournament. We know the team is playing at a higher level and we have to keep pushing
into Reno.
