Tara didn't send me many updates to this game as she
noticed a big uptick in intensity in this game. Some of it may have been that
the boys were playing Linden, a school that has consistently beat up on the
Holly boys (at least the boys on Tyler's football and basketball teams), and
some of it may have been the coaching style of the individual who took over for
the boys usual coach for this game. Either way she noticed that the boys who
didn't give their all got yanked from the game, and those who showed effort
played. The defense for this game was much improved, although they still have a
long way to go on offense. She said it was an improvement overall, despite the
26-16 loss.

The defense was much improved this game, holding their opponents

16 themselves, three of which came on Tyler's lone basket.
