Co-Ed Basketball Week 9

Summary of this weeks Co-Ed game in our Rec league in Balboa Park.


Get off to a decent start, my shot is struggling very badly but our big man is killing it down low keep it close till we wear out some. Down by 10 at half time.


New guy subs in at half time with me and Big Man, we go on a 12-0 run, lead goes back and forth all through the second half, my shot still off, but creating and getting some lay-ups.


We get up by 3 with one minute left in the game, they come down put up a three pointer and miss! Of course they pull an offensive board, pull it back out, couple passes then they put up an ugly 3 and our Big Man gets him on the arm as he's shooting!


It's their best player and he steps up and casually hits all 3 to tie the game up with 25 seconds left.


We inbound and I bring the ball up the floor, stall till we get to 10, use screen from big man get to the elbow and hit our other shooter outside, he bobbles it and passes it back to me, 5 seconds left. Reset back up top, Big man on-ball screen again, I drive right (Any of you who know me, of course I opt to drive right...) 4 of their players collapse leaving one of our girls wide open for baseline jumper about 18 out. Dish out to her, she catches, sets, shot nothing but net, buzzer goes off as it goes through the net. Gotta love it!



In unrelated news, here's pictures from our Stake basketball team :) I'll have to get some of the Co-Ed team.

That was intense man! I loved it! I was visualizing everything: your shot being off (lol), the 3 free throws hit by the other team (suspense building), and then big Willy drives right-dishes??? You passed it?! Dang it Will! Haven't you learned anything! Just playin buddy, you always were better about sharing than the rest of us. And don't feel bad about the opting to drive right, I still do that too.
