I didn't get much feedback from this game other than it
was ugly throughout. I know Tyler didn't score in this game, and apparently he
didn't play much defense either... of course it doesn't appear that anybody
played much in the way of defense, as they gave up a season high 58 points. As
you can imagine, they dropped this game as well, by a score of 58-27, moving
them to 0-8 on the year.
I guess I shouldn't expect much more than this, though,
considering the makeup of the team. There are a few incoming freshmen playing on
the team, but the majority of the kids are much younger. Tyler is one of four
eighth graders-to-be, and there are also two seventh graders-to-be playing. I
was also told that there is a fifth grader-to-be on the team as well (the
varsity coaches son...). Tough losses are to be expected by such a young team
when they are playing primarily freshmen teams all season long. As long as the
effort is genuine, that is all I can ask.

So much for the defensive effort from their previous two games,
as the gave up 58 points in this game (more than their last two
games combined!) while only scoring 27 themselves. Too bad they
didn't score that in Game 7 - it would have been enough to secure
their first victory of the year!
