Just Another Game

Sorry I'm late, I keep thinking I'm gonna go and make my post but I never did. Anyway here we go.

November 28th

Hawks vs. Wizards

Final Score:

Hawks 22-Wizards 24

Another small loss margin. Anyway, we were up at the end of the first half, but got crushed in the second. We were up  about 20-14 at the end of the first. I think we got bad luck in the second. It seemed like our shots refused to go in. I don't think my team and I have ever done worse, only scoring twice as a team in the second half. I think we deserved to win this.

It seemed like the refereeing was odd. Normally, when there is a foul you get 1 point plus it's your ball on the side. But for some reason all they gave was your ball. I think the foul point difference would have tied or won the game for us. One part of the game was funny to watch, as for some reason they had 6 players at one point. The game went on for a surprisingly long time. Unfortunately I wasn't able to see it, it's hard to see from when you are on the court. 

Anyway, we didn't win and that's that. I don't have another game until after the Christmas break. I have no idea exactly when the next game is going to be so don't ask.

Another TWO Games

It's Mitchell again. I had two games today, the second ending around 40 minutes ago. Thought last week's game was as exciting as it gets? Wrong. Today my second game, was one of the most exciting games I've ever played.

November 21st

Hawks vs. Magic

Final Score:

Hawks 36- Magic 22

November 21st

Hawks vs. Heat

Final Score:

Hawks 29- Heat 26

First, the Hawks-Magic game. We did great against them. Excellent rebounding, shooting, and passing. I think the score showed us playing better than we were though. They still played well and we still needed to try hard to beat them. I think that wasn't there game. We've played them before and they did better than today. I scored three times, almost scoring a fourth.

Now, the Hawks-Heat game. Some of this team has been together for two years, this being the third. In all the games I've played against them, I had never won. Until now. Very exciting game, for most of the game it was a one-point difference. It kept going back and forth. Finally in the last five minutes we pulled ahead, with a couple quick baskets. This was more than an exciting game. It went back and forth many times. I scored three times again, two of them being in a row.

Upcoming game:

November 28th

Hawks vs. Wizards

TWO Games

I'm back with not one, but TWO games. Well, that's because I'm posting really, really, really, really late but anyway.

November 7th
Hawks vs. Wizards

Final Score:
Hawks ???-Wizards ???

November 14th

Hawks vs. Grizzlies
Final Score:

Hawks 34-Grizzlies 38

I am really sorry about November 7th because I've forgotten the score because it was so long ago. I guess from now on I'll write down the score the second the game is over, even if I won't be writing yet. All I can say is this: we lost. We didn't just lose, we lost by a lot. And when I say a lot, I mean A LOT. At the end of the first half I think we were something like 20-6. We did better in the second half at least, almost playing them equally. We were still nowhere near them but if you just count the second half we didn't lose by a lot.

The November 14th game was by far the most exciting of the year. We were rebounding much, much better and we took more shots, played better defense etc. I scored three baskets. The first was almost a perfect shot, being from right on the block. It hit the corner of the backboard and went in. My second shot was at an odd angle. It was at about 10 degrees from their baseline. That's a spot where it's hard to knock it off the backboard but is still hard to swish.  My third was in the second half, and the shot a bit further out then the first, but pretty similar.

At the end of the first half, we were winning 20-16. I don't really know what we did wrong in the second half. In the first half we out rebounded them by a fair bit. In the second half this wasn't the case at all. They had some really tall players. Overall we played well.

Upcoming game:

November 21st

Hawks vs. Magic


Upcoming game:
November 21st
Hawks vs. Heat

 Note: The poll for the game will be posted when I hear who we are playing.

EDIT: It turns out we have two games this week.

Lynas-Seymour Hts. Game Results

I'm back with results of another game.

November 1st

Seymour Hts. at Dorothy Lynas

Final Score:

Lynas 27-Seymour Hts. 21

Well we certainly played well. Our rebounding was great, we kept fouling to a minimum, and played great position defense. For those who don't know basketball real well, on defense, rather then standing in front of a player without the ball, you stand in between them and the hoop. This way, you can help out should another player get a break to the hoop, while still being able to check the player without the ball. For the most part, we did this well. We played much better offence as well.

At this point, that was our last game of the season. Most teams still have a game on Monday the 8th. We have a bye however on that day, so this is our last game. From this point on, I will post results of the Steve Nash League Games. My team is the Hawks. Today(November 7th) I have a game. I have a game every week on Sunday. Note that there are no home-away teams, as all games are played at Parkgate.

Upcoming Game:

November 7th

Hawks vs. Wizards

EDIT: Sorry for the late post. For this reason there will be no poll for the Hawks-Wizards game as it starts in a couple hours.

Previous Three Games

Well it's Mitchell, for my first post. I will mainly talk about the October 25th basketball of Dorothy Lynas vs. Sherwood park.

October 25th 
Sherwood Park at Dorothy Lynas

Final Score:

27 Sherwood- 16 Lynas

I think a big reason we lost was our rebounding in the first half of the game. Many of the rebounds went to Sherwood. Our defense needed improvement, and our shots were not from good spots. There was also too much fouling. Our team got many fouls, while they got few fouls. One person, had 3 fouls in the first 4 minutes. I still say he helped the team a lot though, as he got most of the rebounds that we did get, while being fast and aggressive. I would give Jordan Player of the Game.


Previous two games:

October 18th 

Dorothy Lynas at Ross Road

Final Score:

28 Ross Road-14 Lynas

September 27th

Dorothy Lynas at Blueridge

Final Score:

41 Lynas-13 Blueridge

Well the Ross Road game was definitely disappointing, their gym wasn't normal. It had 6 hoops but they weren't on the two ends, rather they were along the side this meant that the gym was difficult to play in. It was mostly similar to the Sherwood Park game.

We did a lot better against Blueridge, with a crushing 41-13 win. We did most things well that game, and I think we deserved that win. We didn't foul much, we were aggressive for rebounds, and most importantly of all, we had good defense. Our shots were much better than our other two games, so I think that we played much better than the last two games.

Upcoming game:
November 1st
Seymour Hts. at Dorothy Lynas
