we had a score to settle as we left for Uxbridge.. they had handed us our first loss in the opening game of the season!
we knew they had a very talented play maker so we had a few trick defenses up our sleeve to throw at him in order to revenge our loss!
from the opening tip we looked the aggressors. baskets from ian marshall & jack ryan got us rolling early & our defense was awesome! we held Uxbridge to two first quarter scores. (only 4 points in the opening 10 minutes!) it was amazing. we in turn netted 24 points & were on fire! louis harris capped it off with a deep 3 point basket!
the 2nd quarter was a different story. Uxbridge found their feet & rallied! but we kept our heads & replied with tough scores of our own! this period saw a lot of points & some great basketball from both teams! we fought harder & out hustled Uxbridge & went into halftime with a commanding lead.. 51-36! we had been outscored in the 2nd 32-27 but had weathered the storm & stayed focused on the task at hand!
the 3rd quarter was a battle. both teams stepped up their defensive intensity & it was hard to score at either end! we slowed the game down as time was on our side. Uxbridge tried to hurry us up but we handled the pressure very well. guards josh mountifield, ollie hunt & matt sharp all stepping up & handling the ball with confidence! our defense had been tough we held Uxbridge to 11 points in the quarter adding 15 ourselves to push the lead to 66-47 heading into the final stanza!
we looked poised in the 4th quarter & answered every Uxbridge basket with great plays of our own. every member of the team gave an awesome effort at both ends of the floor & contributed to keeping us ahead! back to back great driving scores from tanaka munjeri gave us a real boost giving us a 20 point cushion. the win was in the bag & we played hard to the final buzzer. 2 big 3's from man of the match louis harris & a free throw from jake robinson sealed the deal! we had outscored Uxbridge 21-16 in the 4th quarter for a comfortable win! final score 87-63!
