Frustrating First Game

Whew...not a great start to the season.  

Once again, as many times last year, our boys found themselves grossly undersized compared to their opponents.  Really, I don't know where these teams get these huge players.

Zack did not do the jump ball this time.

Of course the coach put Zack on the biggest most physical guy (#35).  He got pushed and shoved around most of the night. 

One of the rare times he was not guarding #35

The other team did an amazing job on defense shutting down any attempts the boys made to get the ball down to the posts.  

Every effort that was made to get the ball close to the basket and in the hands of the posts (Zack) was intercepted.  

Zack was only able to take two shots the whole game, neither were even close to the basket, and he missed both of them.

Twice he was wide open under the basket but the passes were intercepted before they could get to him.

They have the same great coach.  Love him

Finally, they resigned themselves to shooting from the perimeter.  

His face sums up the game

Tough game.  But at one point late in the game they were only down by three.

The two tall players they have do not have much experience on the court.

They ended up losing by double digits.  

Better games ahead hopefully
