Game Summary: Bethlehem vs. East Greenbush – 2/10/07

Posted by Dave Homsey on Feb 10 2007 at 04:00PM PST

Eagles rise to the occasion! East Greenbush will be one of the best teams we play all year and you rose to the challenge and played them tough all game. They came out on top, but only in the score, which ended up 14–10 (We won’t allow Coach Tim to do any math in this write-up. Besides it’s pretty obvious how close the game was). Once again it was an all-around effort. We saw great teamwork on the court on both defense and offense. As always on defense, you were aggressive, which lead to many steals, rebounds, blocked shots and jump-balls. Once again our chasers (Katie, Kenzie, Kate and Abbi) were challenged with guarding opponents with a little bit of a height advantage, but as always you did a great job. Our zone was impenetrable. We don’t remember a single basket that was made from inside the paint once our defense was established. On offense, we could really see the improvements in your passing. On several occasions we saw Chelsea step out as the #2 to set up the perimeter passing (you could see how effective it was because you moved the ball so quickly to Chelsea that she had room to drive which lead to all of her foul shots). Our rebounding also improved. A couple times, Olivia, Sarah, Mary and Ellie were getting rebound after rebound putting shots right back up a second time. Emma and Abbi were challenged with some of the most demanding dribbling we have seen this year and both did well (East Greenbush was not only good, but one of the fastest teams we have played all year, too). The points were as follows: Abbi – 2 Chelsea – 2 – Congratulations on your first baskets this year. Nice shooting!!!!!! Ellie – 2 Emma – 2 Olivia – 2 Even the score is illustrative of your teamwork. We had half the girls score and the scoring was even across the board (whoops, Coach Tim snuck in the math again, didn’t he). Keep up the good work. After our game on Sunday against Hoosic Valley and our two practices this coming week, we're going to have a lot of time off before our last game. Keep practicing at home and please review the “play book” to keep the rust off, so we are ready to soar on the 26th. The Coaches P.S. Since this was our last home game of the season, it's an appropriate time to say thank you to all our parent volunteers who helped out at the admission/concession/scorers tables all year. We literally couldn't have done it without you. ___________________________
