Dear Force Parents,

Our boys played a great game today, our game plan worked perfect in the first half. Our diamond and one defense was to stop Kendall from beating us with his quickness to the basket, our press break worked well taking away their full court press and our man to man offenses made them switch up to a zone defense. The result was a 19-11 halftime lead. The second half we had a couple of bad breaks from the referees, OCO made adjustments but we still were not going to let Kendall beat us this game. Kendall ended up with 2 points in the game but we ended up losing 31-42. Troy was our defensive player of the game, he guarded Kendall when he was in the game and also had 5 rebounds got to the free throw line and played very hard when he was in. We will review with our boys at the next practice on what we needed to adjust to in order to win that game.

We will also have a defensive clinic on Friday night at Jason's warehouse from 9:00-10:00 p.m. with K.B. who played professionally in Europe and also with the Anaheim Arsenals. He will work on boxing out, rebounding and playing defense. The more players we have the cheaper it will be as we have negotiated a flat fee of $100 for this clinic. Please let us know if you can make it, we will be inviting other players that we know to get the number to 10 players.

Our Saturday practice will be at Valencia HS from 5:00-6:30 p.m. in the Large Gym please try to make this practice as we will be going over tonights game as well as our changes for the next OCO game in 5 weeks.

Have a great week and let your son know that they all played a great game today and that we will learn and will be a better team from this experience.
