Despite a slow start, the 7th grade basketball team posted a 39-21 win to begin the season. Had a 1-point lead at halftime and started our 5-guard offense in the 3rd quarter, and blew the game open.
Had 11 of our 12 players score in the game. The gym gives a free soft drink and popcorn if every player on your roster scores, so we just missed out.
Next game? January 11. How is that for a weird schedule?
Going to be a good year. We were 2nd in the league last year, and picked up the starting point guard from another school's team through a special rule we have that allows me to recruit, and he added a whole new dimension to the team. (Parochial school league, kid goes to another school we played in AAU summer ball, but attends our church). Crazy quick, and have never seen anyone better at that age at stealing the ball off the dribble. Will pick your pocket in a heartbeat.
We probably will finish 2nd this year, too, as they added two 8th grade teams to the 7th grade division just to even up the teams. We are not as good as one of them, but better than the other one. Will be fun.
