U-17 Basketball: Game 4 - LOSS!

We lost. Ugh. Its never nice to lose. The guys fought hard, but we lost 2 of our key players (and biggest mismatches for the other team to defend) early in the game both to ankle sprains. Add this to a 15 point deficit due to really off-form outside shooting, and things looked bad. But we fought hard and with good defense and some hot shooting from our point guard, managed to build a 3 point lead entering the 4th quarter against a good team. However the lack of offensive options made it tough to keep up, we lost by 5 in the end, 56-51. Fitness was good considering the intensity of the game, and the lack of depth we had after our 2 injuries. We will be back!...
