Today, my 16U team played in Hannover, against the Hannover YMCA. The first quarter was a back and forth battle with us having the lead after it ended. My team came out very soft and passive which really irritated me and I let them know I wasn't pleased. During the second quarter they played even more passive and soft and we went into halftime tied 34-34. We only shot 4 free throws in the first half and I told them thats because they played soft and passive. Two starters inparticularly were playing bad and I didn't start them the second half. One of the two didn't play the second half due to disrespect to his teammates. The second half they came out fired up and ready to play and I think it had to do with the two new players inserted into the starting lineup. The two new players brough energy and toughness that the others fed off of. We controlled the whole second half, holding them to 21 second half points and only 9 in the fourth quarter. We won the game 72-55 and I was pleased with the second half play.
Their next game is against their rival ASC of Goettingen. The game is at our place so I know we will have a lot of fans and we'll be "amped" up for the game.
Their record is now 4-1 and they are in first place in the 16u Norther Division.
