8th Grade Blue-April 16-17

YBA Xtreme Blue vs. Top Notch   

Saturday 4/16/11 YBA lost 48-45. YBA came out with great energy. The team started off well but struggled with shooting % over the course of the game. Slow rotation on defense was an issue in the 4^th quarter allowing the opponent to maintain their lead. A hard fought game but the opponent played a solid 28 minutes and simply would not go away. Keys for improvement from this game: rebounding, offensive execution, making the extra pass in transition, free throw %.

YBA Xtreme Blue vs.  – Seasides Finest

Sunday 4/17/11 YBA lost 42 -38.  Last time playing this team we lost 41-23.  This is the best the team has played in 2 seasons but lack of scoring at the 3, 4, 5 positions was a key to the loss.  7 players and 2 fouled out and there was still a good chance of winning in the end so nice team effort.  Guard play was commendable nice job attacking the basket on offense. Ish hit a big 3 in the 4^th quarter to keep us in the game.  Keys for improvement from this game: finish our inside shots, execute inbounds plays during last minute of games, take care of the ball, make our free throws.
