Basketball Game

Last weekend Austin's basketball team had their most exciting game yet this season. The Tarheels (gag) were down 15-10 with 3 minutes to go, when they exploded for 13 points to finish the game 23-17. Acting more like the Cardiac Pack than their namesakes, his team drained three 3-pointers in the last 3 minutes to salt the game away.

The key to the game was their suffocating defense that opened the door to several scoring opportunities. The other team broke down during the press and they capitalized on the errors.

The Coach has been preaching defense in practice and I think they understand it now. The game was a joy to watch, if only to witness the unbridled joy that 11 year old boys exhibit when a close game goes their way.
