2008 MS 5&6 Grades Boys Basketball

February 2: Kingsway

We were #4 seed. We played against Kingsway at the KRC gym to open the I.I. S.L. playoffs.  We led 19 to 14 at halftime.  In the second half, our boys did not play hard on defense.  Our boys were not themselves in the game due to tournament mentality. The final score was 41 to 57.  The Coach wants to wish Good Luck to Cody, Colton, Preston, Seth, Gio, TJ, Trenton, and Ken as they will move to the 7/8th level next year. Thanks to Dante, Jason, Austin, and Charles for being hard working players on the team. All players had a fun learning experience!

Yesterday we played against Trinity Lutheran.  We lost by 2 points after we did not make the last shot with 6 seconds left.  Trinity Lutheran was strong to shoot inside and had a good tight defense inside.  They did not allow us inside to shoot. Our boys had to struggle to shoot outside.
