3rd Grade- February 19-20

First game was against the 4th grade Folsom Force. Physically, the team was outclassed - theyw ere simply BIGGER! Skill wise, the 3rd graders had them beat.  However, this was one game were physicality outmatched skill.  The team played well, and gave it their all - but came up a little short.

Our second game was against a scrappy 2nd grade 916 Select Team. In a game plagued with fouls and jump balls, the  3rd grade Xtreme team prevailed by two points. They missed many shots, but played great defense and held the 916 Select team off until the final horn sounded.

The last game of the tournament was against an inexperienced 2nd grade Predators team. In a lopsided game, the 3rd grade Xtreme team worked on many things. Most notable was their passing. They were looking up court and finding the open man for the easy shot and basket. The lesson learned was that it's easier to make a basket with noone guarding you than five people guarding you. Extra pass.
Overall, the team played three great games! The coaches are proud of the team and are happy to see the improvment from when they first came together as a team. We are excited to see the kids grow and continue to get better.
