Grizzlies and Heat!

I'm back with two more games. I'd call it a half-win, with 1 win 1 loss.

January 16th

Seymour 46-Heat 34

January 16th

Hawks vs. Grizzlies

Final Score: 

Hawks 25-Grizzlies 38

The U-13 game was a good game. Early on it was pretty exciting to watch with usually a 2-4 point differance. We played great. Much better than last week. We shut them down on defense pretty well, while making good plays on offense. One thing we weren't doing well was defending against picks and making picks. A pick is when you stand beside a defender so that the person he's defending can dribble around you and go score. We didn't make many picks, but they made a lot. Often when they made a pick, nobody went to defend the open person. In the second half, we really pulled ahead. At the end of the first half, we were losing at 20-16. We made a great comeback, which I think is partially because we made more picks and defended against them better. Anyway, a good game.

On the other hand, the Hawks were a disaster. At least for the first half it was. In the second half we notably defended better.  On the other hand, the first half we defended horribly. They almost always had somebody open for a pass. That team is really tall too. That made it really hard to get a lot of rebounds. While they usually would get a second or third shot if they missed, we would get one shot and if we missed that, it was there ball and we'd get nothing for the play. Anyway, hopefully the Hawks will be better next week.

I'm not going to be at the games, so I won't be making a post next week. 

U-13 AND Hawks!

I hope everyone had a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

I doubt any of you know this but I'm also on the U-13 Seymour team. We ended up just playing in Steve Nash League. Anyway, looking at the games, this is definitely a great start to the year!

Unfortunately, there was no score-keeper for the U-13 game, they didn't keep score(duh?). I don't feel that we played all that well, getting out rebounded at points. I still think we would of won by a couple points though. I don't think some of our players had a very good day. There was one exception, who looked amazing on the court. He played like the kind of person that not only plays well, but also looks good on the court. Anyway. we didn't play all that well and hopefully next time we'll play better.

On the other hand, we played excellently on the Hawks team. We were against a strong team, with several players that are also on U-13. They had several fast players, including the person who was the person I was talking about in U-13(Am I allowed to mention names?). I don't really know how we crushed them that badly, I think the score favoured us. Anyway, shot well, rebounded well, defended well. That's generally the key to basketball. It's a lot more complicated then that obviously, with things like ball-handling and passing.

There's the games, it's still a great start, even though our Seymour game wasn't the greatest. I just hope that second game didn't psych us out too much!

PS: We got awesome uniforms for U-13. They are reversible and a shiny blue and white with a sleeveless jersey and shorts. The regular Steve Nash jerseys are an ugly black and white.
