8th White-March 12-13

YBA Xtreme White vs. Davis Wildcats 

Saturday 3/12/11 at 1:20 p.m.YBA squared off against Davis winning 46 - 21.  With 5 new players everyone did an excellent job playing together and adjusting to the new chemistry which will take some time to gel.  Good patience on offense, solid man defense and winning the battle on the boards at both ends of the floor for the majority of the game allowed us to pull away and retain the lead in this one. Keys for improvement from this game: finish off transition baskets, maintain perimeter spacing on offense, look for the screener who is rolling, screener roll, boxing out on defense, and seeing back side cutters on defense.

• Defense player of the game:  whole team
• Offense player of the game: Sanam Bains, Josh O’neal

YBA Xtreme White vs. Redding Hornets (Eventual Tourn Champs)  

Saturday 3/12/11 at 4:35 p.m.YBA squared off against Redding and lost 73-35.  This was a formidable opponent a very solid team and definitely felt it shooting a very high % from the floor.  Our guard play struggled to secure the ball and get offensive penetration. Otherwise our effort was excellent and we won the 4^th quarter so I was very proud of our heart in this one.  Keys for improvement from this game: ball security, offensive execution, finish off transition baskets, maintain perimeter spacing on offense, getting back quicker in transition defense, boxing out on defense.

• Defense player of the game:   whole team for 4^th qtr effort
• Offense player of the game: Stephen Bober

YBA Xtreme White vs. Hurricanes White

Sunday 3/13/11 at 2:25 p.m. YBA squared off against and beat the Hurricanes 56 -35. YBA came out very flat but played through the sluggishness and with good ball movement on offense and cleaning up the glass on the defensive end out of our 2 -3 zone which proved to be effective we took and retained the lead. At times our decision making on the offensive end was poor settling for low percentage shots which allowed the Hurricanes to hang around but in the second half we cleaned up our offensive execution utilizing the high post to low post and inside out aspects of our offense very effectively.  Keys for improvement: come out with more intensity, improve fist, improve ball security (reduce turnovers better passing decisions), offensive and ob play execution (better decision making), come to passes.
