September 7th - Game #1 - 4:00
We started another session of YMCA advanced basketball. I am helping coach our team the Mambas. Our first two games of the season were a double header against the same team.
We started off the season with a close win, 41-40.
September 7th - Game #2 - 6:00
The second game didn't go as well. We played flat and never really were in the game.
We lost by 7, 28-35.
September 14th - Game #3 - 5:00
We had a few kids who decided they did not want to play anymore so we are down to 6 players. I was happy with our effort and ability to play aggressively for extended periods of time.
We were up by one with a few minutes left in the game, but lost a close one 35-31. We were happy with how the team played.
September 21st - Game #4 - 3:00
We knew going into this game that we were playing one of the toughest teams in the league. They are big, fast, and well coached. We fought hard and played good basketball but lost 38-23. We were intimidated on offense and were throwing up quick shots instead of running an offense. Silas is very active on the court and a pretty good three point shooter.
September 28th - Game #5 - 5:00 pm
We played a close game against a good team but lost 36-33.
We are always the smallest team.
Silas has been doing a good job with shooting free throws.
October 5th - Game #6 - 4:00 pm and Game #7 - 6:00 pm
We played two games today. The first team was against the undefeated team. The YMCA director said this team scrimmaged a highschool team and beat them. They were extremely good and beating teams by 50+ points every game. We only lost by 36. We fought hard and it was good for our team.
The second game was against the winless team in the league. We didn't play great but won by 31, 51-19.
Silas is always hustling and doesn't mind getting on the floor.

October 12th - Game #8 - 6:00 pm
We played our last game of the regular season and finished on a high note.
Nice Form! Silas made some threes and finished with 11 points.
End of Season Tournament Game #1 - 7:30 pm
We played in the end of season tournament. The bottom 4 teams of the 8 team league played in this tournament. We were the 2nd seed and replayed the team we just beat easily. This game wasn't quite as easy. We won but it was close. 30-26.
Tournament Game #2 - 7:30 pm
We made it to the championship game. We came out playing well and continued through the end of the game winning easily. We ended up the season with a 500 record of 5 wins and 5 losses.
