VFW

We had another great game on the defensive side today. We were able to shut down their three scorers for the whole game. In fact, the majority of their points came from the shorter free throw line meaning that we were contesting all of the shots that they had. We assigned Brad, Kenny and Trevor in the first group and Reed, Sammy and Jordy in the second group to guard their big three. We had Sunny and Shaq in the middle if they made it past the first line of defense. Christian and Troy were to come from the weak side and double for the steal, they both had a couple of steals during the game. Our offense was better again from the previous week as we continue to work our new 1-3-1 offense with the proper spacing and timing of all the cutters to the basket and looking for our centers as high and lost post threats to score. Today's win guaranteed our team a co-championship for the season. Depending on next weeks game against OCO we will either be champions by ourselves or tied as co-champions for the SEYO league with either an 8-1 or 7-2 season. Remember the 10th week does not count towards the final standings. Remember, we have two practices this week. The first will be on Friday 2/9/07 at Mariners from 6:30-8:30 p.m. This will be a split practice where Coach Jon and Coach Scotty will continue to perfect the offense and our new in-bounds play. I will be working with Shaq and Sunny on their post moves and how to move from high to low posts, footwork and passing inside. Our second practice will be on Saturday 2/10/07 from 5:00-6:30 p.m. at Marina HS in Huntington Beach. Please let Jon or I know if you cannot make either practice. Have a great week and see you on Friday. Mark
