Your 7th grade boys basketball team was able to hold of the Mohawks of Northwest tonight 47-32. We dug ourselves a 5pt deficit after 2 quarters of play but with a little motivational speech at halftime they decided they wanted to play basketball. We outscored them 30-10 in the 2nd half of play.
The turn around started with Brady voiers defensive presence. He caused Northwest to have to make a decision they were not comfortable making which allowed Trae Zimmerman, Brady blizzard and cam carpenter to play in the passing lanes and get steals. Gavin baker, Elijah Blake and sam Hanes also stepped in to supply the same defensive pressure. Our bigs, Riley cook (best game of the year), Caden Conley and Devin burk really slowed down their penetration when they broke through our pressure.
Offensively we moved the ball (2nd half anyway) and got to the basket and was able to get them into a little foul trouble. When we get aggressive and attack and share the ball we play really well which showed in the 2nd half tonight.
We move onto play Wheelersburg Saturday in the semi-final game.
