• Game Summary: Bethlehem vs St. Jude – 1/5/08

Posted by Dave Homsey on Jan 04 2008 at 04:00PM PST

26-4, 23-8.

Those scores may not look very different, but scores don't tell the whole story. This game tonight proves that. 

The first time we played St. Jude, we lost 26-4, and it felt like that. Like we didn't really challenge them.

This time, the game FELT competitive. Anybody watching this game could see how much better we played. You challenged St. Jude tonight. They may not lose a game this season, but they know Bethlehem wasn't scared. Bethlehem wasn't intimidated. Bethlehem gave it everything they had, right until the end of the game. There's nothing more I can ask of you. 

You had one practice to learn our "Gap" offense, so, of course we need to work on it more. But we saw some really good things happening. Girls were thinking out here, moving to open spaces and making nice passes. On defense, you're doing so much better you're doing at figuring out who you're guarding on your own? St. Jude substituted more than any other team we played, which made it hard, but you're getting good at looking around and finding someone to cover.

And once again, you played them tough in the 2nd half. The 2nd half score was only 10-6. 

How 'bout some stats?

Final score: St. Jude 23, Bethlehem 8
Points:
Emma - 2
Lily - 2
Grace - 4 

Rebound leader: Emma - 4 
Steals leader: Sarah - 2
