3rd Grade-May 7

In the one-day tournament, the team started off by facing the CJBA 3rd grade team. In a previous game, the CJBA team defeated the Xtreme team by a LARGE margin (25+ points). An early game saw the team still sleeping in the first half, but they came alive in the second. They fought their way back to within seven points, but could not get over the hump. In the end, the Xtreme team lost by 11 points - a victory in the coach's eyes, since they had lost by such a large margin before.

A Sutter team that the Xtreme team had beaten a week before by 1 point was back for more. A fourth grade team, the Sutter boys were MUCH BIGGER than the 3rd grade Xtreme team. But, never ones to back down, they used strong defense and sharp shooting to keep the game close through the fourth quarter. In the end, size was too much to overcome, and the Xtreme team was left with no gas in their tank and lost to a good team.

The last game of the day was against the Predators 3rd grade team. A very quick team, the Xtreme team had to be on their toes and ready to run. And they were. Using great defense and a balanced team effort, while being a little short on players (seven), the team beat the Predators to end their day with a nice victory.
