Save the best game for last as they say. A perfect 10-0 record in their district for the Grade 9 Boys Thunder team to capture their first Surrey Championship banner. All the hard work has paid off and it’s just the beginning.
Congrats on a convincing 68 – 38 victory over last years Champions! Good Luck in the Fraser Valleys!
Takeaways:
- biggest difference I saw, “TRUST” …. the ball was never sticky and it moved around, sooner and often. Play for each other and help the helper.
- aggressive point guard play put a lot of pressure on their defense and good things happen ….. “penetration is the key”
- inside and outside game was on point
- intense defense sustained, 1st 24-11 us, 2nd 39-19 us, 3rd 56-28 us, 4th 68-38 for the finish. No taking foot off the gas pedal
- PR shot 28 for 55 (51%) vs Semi’s 14 for 55 (25%) ……. consistency came at a great time
- we controlled the tempo all the way through, from beginning to end ….. no slow start
- we only fouled when we needed to, limited them to 4 out of 6 on the charity stripes ….. compare that to our 9 out of 15
- it’s good to have that taste of winning in your mouth, now you have to continue to be hungry for that taste
