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 vs. Heat
Final Score:
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.
