After playing the same team for the first two weeks (and having that team resemble the fast breaking Portland Trailblazers) the Lucky Charms squared off Sunday against the red team, the Jets. Both teams matched up well against one another and it was a good battle.
The Lucky Charms started the game with five boys; Marcus, Jax, Jake, Alexie and Shane. Lucky for the Charms their other teammates trickled in as the game started. Jax and Shane dazzled the Jets early by sharing point guard duties and penetrating the Jets defense with good dribbling. Combining open looks at the basket with good rebounding the team scored more than their fair share. Marcus had caught rebound fever at practice on Thursday night and the fever continued through this game. “Quick Shot” Alexie fired shots off from everywhere and Jake was a one man blanket on defense.
As the game progressed more boys joined in the action. Theo ‘the bullet’ stormed all over the court making an instant impact as he hit the floor with swarming defense and his patented scoop shot. The insertion of the ‘twin towers of pain’ aka Nick and Colby proved way too much for the Jets. Nick and Colby seemed to grab every board and made lethal work of their returns to score at will. Devon created havoc with intense defense to such a degree that he injured his leg, but courageously asked to remain in the game and continued to swarm his opponents with ferocity.
