TIME TO GET IT RIGHT

Yesterday varsity played our 5th summer league game of the year to a record of 1-4. To start off the total team effort was very much improved. One thing we have to do is learn how to play through adversity. Have to fight when your down or you are not getting your foul calls. To become a better team use this loosing as a tool so when we are in close games we know what not to do. But the thing is we have to start the game off better than we have the energy and effort needs to turn up from the start and not when we are down big and pressing. One thing I really enjoyed was the play that Rashard Morris had off the bench a lot of energy on the offensive and defensive side of the ball. He was the only point guard who actually attacked the basket off the dribble and played really hard on the defensive end of the court played very confident I can only hope that this continues. Now one thing that needs to be improved is the stagnant offense, and being dictated to on the defensive end of the court. The bigs are playing extremely lazy and soft especially on rebounding. Especially on offense watching the ball rim off and not attacking the basket or boxing out. I wonder when someone will attack the basket consistently if I was asked who the best offensive player is right now I couldn’t answer it because no one is consistently getting to the rim. But now it’s time to look forward to the next game and put our best foot forward for that game. No one person can be the hero we have to play team defense and offense and have to get some consistency off the bench to build a rotation and become a cohesive unit. My last point is the team leadership needs to improve or else this season will be another heart-breaker every good team I have been around at Ribault had really good leadership in quite frankly we don’t have it.
