Last night we braved the snow and slush to play a game that was cancelled last week due to snow and slush. Our opponent came from a school that boasts only eight 8th graders- none of which play boys' basketball. Last year we beat this school by a lot in the first round of our big Lutheran school tournament, this year's squad was not much better.
We had a couple guys starting that do not usually start (one who has never started) as a result of wanting to reward one guy and punish a starter, thus we started out slow- for about 2 minutes. Once we got our act together we assumed control of the game and never let it go. We lead 20-6 after 1Q, 28-6 at H, 38-10 after 3Q and won by a score of 46-15.
The game did little more than allow us the chance to get our younger players significant minutes and baskets. This Friday we play one of the better teams in our conference, but I will be gone (missing only the second game ever in my 7 years of coaching). After that, Christmas break- which both the boys and the coaches need.
