The second game of the day went a little better than the
first, but then again they were facing a seventh grade team. Since most of
Samantha's team consists of 8th graders, it would have been a little
disappointing to have lost this game. Needless to say the girls played a better
game all around than they did in their first game of the season, as they were
able to pass the ball amongst themselves and manage to get some open shots out
of it. They also had a significant height advantage in this game, and they used
that to rebound and score on put-backs. Sam played better in this game as she
grew more comfortable on the court. She didn't score, but she had a couple of
good looks and she continued to play tight defense, managing a couple of steals
in addition to a few rebounds. By the time the game was done, the Avengers had
cruised to an easy 35-16 victory.
