Rematch Replay

Saturday afternoon Will’'s Flight JV team lost again to the powerhouse North Cobb team, this time by a 53 -– 24 score. Flight only managed 16 rebounds, and leading scorers DJ and Connor shot a combined 1 for– 16 from three-point range.

It was good competition for Will, who grabbed two of the rebounds. He attempted two shots as well.

The 29 point loss may have been an improvement over the previous week’s 45 point loss, though North Cobb didn’'t press this time. They did play their top players until only three minutes remained. Several of the boys were 11th-graders unable to crack the varsity lineup. As a contrast, the Flight JayVees had at most two 10th-graders, and four 8th-graders get considerable playing time. Had DJ and Connor made even 40% of their threes the game would'’ve been much closer, though then North Cobb would’ve been motivated to press.

…DJ scored 9, going 5 for– 10 from the foul line. He had a rebound, block, and 2 steals.

…Connor had 11 points, with 2 rebounds and steals.

…Kevin’'s shoulder is finally healed, and he played tough inside, gabbing 4 rebounds and a steal.

…Josh had 3 points, 4 boards, and one steal and block.

…Holt had 2 rebounds.

…Max had a steal.

North Cobb led by 8 after the first quarter, 20 at the half, 21 after three, and won by 29 points. The teams play once more Tuesday evening.

The Flight JV girls won their game against North Cobb, with a similar outcome as they had last week. I saw Abby make at least one basket.
