If the last game was what I considered to be a sure fire
win, then this game had to qualify as the complete opposite of that. I knew it
would be tough to pull out an upset victory, as the team that Tyler's team was
playing against was undefeated to this point in the season. The boys in red came
out strong, hitting on all cylinders as their passing was crisp and their shots
precise, even taking a 16-6 lead midway through the first half. Unfortunately
old habits came back to bite them the rest of the game. Passes that were off the
mark or telegraphed bad enough that a steal was easy and shots that were just
off enough to bounce off the rim resulted in a big loss, 60-30. I give the boys
credit, though. They managed to put some points on the board (they have had
trouble breaking double digits on a couple of occasions) and showed what their
potential could be if only they could put together two solid halves and play
more consistently. They have a playoff game or two to work towards, and
hopefully that is the game that they can make it all work!
Once again I got stuck manning the scoreboard (you may
notice the back of my head in a couple of the pictures - hopefully that was
unintentional!), so I want to thank my Mom for taking pictures for me today. I
owe you!
