Highland Park Scrimmage

We had our first scrimmage last Friday vs. Highland Park. I honestly didn't think we did a great job until I watched the tape and was much happier with our performance after. We played three 2o minutes periods. (Running time) Each team played their basic man to man defense and basic motion offense. After watching the tape a couple things jumped out at me.

  • Our rebounding was exceptional. We attacked the ball with two hands and had five guys on the defensive boards every time. In 60 minutes of basketball we only gave up 6 offensive boards. That was an exciting stat for me.
  • A lot of our mistakes where a direct result of our conditioning. We will need to step up our conditioning in practice in order to play the way we want to.

The bottom line is that the guys worked extremely hard and did pretty well having only three days of practice. It's been a good start to the season.
