Varsity Basketball v Washington Montessori played on Wednesday December 17th, 2008

Game # 1 DDS vs. Washington Montessori

Dutchess Day Varsity Basketball loses their home opener 58-20

After a strong first quarter against WMS we were pretty even in score. Dutchess Day scored 10 points in the first quarter while only totaling 10 points the rest of the game. The second quarter WMS pulled away big with a 36 point lead. Washington Montessori's leading scorer R. Mennin had 20 points at the half and 30 in the game. The second half we changed defensive strategies and brought the game back to only 20 points. WMS just out hustled us and wanted to win. DDS felt that they were playing well in the beginning of the game but got discouraged by the point deficit. Kai was Dutchess Day's leading scorer with 8 points followed by Sean G. with 6 points which was made by two 3 point shots. Christian, Danielle and Roan all contributed 2 points each respectively. Danielle had a hard task by covering R. Mennin who was at least 4 inches taller than her.....she did a great job and was not intimidated at all. TJ, Sebastian, Jackson, John and Benjamin who also played to the best of their ability all got in the game to get some playing experience. Our next game will be after Christmas break and we plan as a team to improve game by game.
