13th Game: vs Kings

11th October 2006

This team we beat last time, but they didn’t have as many players last time. We had six players but I was late by about 6 minutes due to Bible Study commitments. Devo couldn’t make the game, but everyone else was there. This Kings lineup has players that play in both A1 and A2, which I had thought that this social competition wasn’t supposed to allow A1 players to compete. That’s why they have the Social ‘A’ grade. Either I was wrong, or they changed the ruling or they just don’t bother enforcing it.

Anyway the were doing alright when I arrived only down 8 to 5, then after a few minutes the margin was out to 20 points. I subbed on at about 11 minutes to go in the half. No one got into foul trouble in this game with no more than 3 fouls.

The first half Tim scored with a drive that he threw up off the backboard. Dave made 2 points, Harbs scored 6, James made 4 with a free throw and a 3ptr, Simbo made 5 points which included a 3 point play for the free throw. The half time score was 18 to 40.

The second half Dave and James both made another 4 points each while Simbo made 2points. Our defence in the second half had some rare patches of greatness, but for the most part the Kings were able to score at will. One of their players (Brutty) I’ve played against in the mixed competition and he seems to be able to make the shot from any ware on the floor. Not sure how many points he got, but I think he hit atleast four 3ptrs. It took us almost five minutes in the second half to get any points on the board. The final score was 28 to 82.
