🏀PREMIERS - U10 Wizards🏀
Write up from Coach Lucas
Today we came up against Southern Suns Warriors, who hadn’t lost a game all season, so we knew we were going to have to be switched on from the start.
We had a plan going into today and the boys absolutely delivered. I honestly think it was the best we have played all season, not just with the basketball but in the way we played as a team. They used each other, backed each other up, worked hard on the boards and, when we got the ball, were quick in offence and made smart decisions.
It was a tough game and Southern Suns kept coming at us, but the boys didn’t panic. They stayed composed, kept working for each other and stuck to what we wanted to do. Everyone played their part, no one tried to do it all themselves and they trusted their teammates right until the end.
Our defensive pressure was great, we were strong on the rebounds and, when we had opportunities to run, we took them. Even when we made mistakes, the boys just got on with the next play and kept fighting.
We came away with a 46–40 win.
Couldn’t be more proud of these boys. Not just for what they did today, but for the way they’ve grown over the whole season. They’ve listened, worked hard, improved and really started to understand how good they can be when they play together.
To beat an undefeated team in the Grand Final is something the boys should be proud of. They earned this!
