Tough Game against New Albany

Robert and his team had a game at 2:00 pm today against New Albany.  They are a very good competitive team.

This week 11 boys showed up:  Robert, Chase, Trace, LaShawn, Michael, Bobbi, Will, Trevor, Zac, Reece, and Ben.  It's much harder to win a game with so many players because all players have to play at least 2 minutes each half.

Michael, Chase, Bobbi, Will and Ben started the game, then at 4:00 minutes the coach switches everyone out and starts the next 5:  Robert, LaShawn, Trace, Zac and Reece.  2 minutes later he subs Trevor in for Reece.  We are down in the first quarter 9-5.

Nice ball handling

 At the end of the second half Robert scored the shot to take the lead with 16 points, but then we counted the baskets for New Albany and realized they had 16 points too - so it's really tied.  Robert was disappointed.  He did great - having 5 or 7 points in the first half.

Passing it off

 In the second half of the game (even though it is played in 4 quarters) Robert's team did well when he was in but not so well when he was out.  Usually Bobbi and Chase have good games, but Chase would drive and go up but then pass the ball to nobody, and Bobbi's shots were off today.  He made one 3 pointer the whole game (at least 10 attempts).

Robert had a few more baskets and assists.  With 1:10 left in the game, Robert made a shot and was fouled.  He missed his free throw but we got the ball, but we just couldn't catch up.  New Albany won 33-28.  Robert had 11 points.
