15th Game: vs Blue Devils

26th October 2006

This week we had six players again with both James and Simbo back. The blue devils are a good team, and many of their players play in higher grades. The biggest problem with them from our point of view is that they are arrogant about the game.

Our first half was pretty bad as we only scored 10 points while they scored 37. Dave made our first score for the night then James scored a 3ptr, followed by a 2ptr, a free throw and another 2ptr. Tim had 3 fouls before half time and so couldn’t play as hard in defense for the second half.
The second half Tim made 1 of 2 free throws, Dave made a jump shot, Harbs made 8 points with a couple of nice drives, Simbo made four points including 2 free throws, James made another 9 points with two 3ptrs, a 2ptr and a free throw. I made two points after I got a rebound and threw the ball back up at the backboard. Tim picked up his fourth foul with abour 15 minutes left of the game which made it hard to stop the arrogance scoring as several times he was left by himself to defend the fast break. Anyway the final score was 36 to 67, which I was quite happy with since we were able to prevent them from scoring 70 points, and we almost made it to 40. We should still be second last on the ladder.

Next week is on Wednesday at 10:10pm.
