YBA Xtreme White 30 vs. Napa Boys and Girls Club 50

Sunday 2/19/11 at 4:35 p.m. YBA squared off against the Napa Boys and Girls Club.  YBA had great energy early and took an early 5 point lead.  Then our energy left our heads dropped and the effort and hustle declined for the remainder of the game. We stopped movement without the ball and attacking the basket for high percentage baskets reverting back to a steady diet of quick long range shots and not playing as a team (finding the open man) let this one get away.  Keys for improvement from this game: up our intensity, rebound on the defensive end, take higher percentage shots on offense. 

• Defense player of the game:   Cody Abendschein, Josh O’neal
• Offense player of the game: none
• Best Hustle: Cody Abendschein,  Josh O’neal, Tyrell Minor

YBA Xtreme White 16 vs. Rocktown Ballers White 34

Sunday 2/20/11 at 9:00 a.m. - It takes some resolve to play Sunday morning at 9:00 a.m.  The reality was 4 of the 5 starters were playing at less than 100%.  Energy not there for 28 minutes. Again, we stopped movement without the ball and attacking the basket for high percentage baskets reverting back to a steady diet of quick long range shots and not playing as a team (finding the open man) let this one get away.  Keys for improvement from this game: up our intensity, rebound on the defensive end, take higher percentage shots on offense.
