IMS came to the Bontecou Gym on Wednesday and brought with them a very young, but talented team. I foresee a great future for this team, as these young players improve and grow. DDS will have a time of it in years to come with this potentially fine team. For now though, DDS was just too powerful for them.
A well-balanced attack by our young “hoopsters” and an even distribution of our scoring was just too much for IMS. Our team defense has showed steady and continuous improvement and everyone got some serious minutes.
Cooper Davis was the star of this game, coming off the bench with a determination to steal the ball and score some points. He did this quite effectively with several steals and some aggressive defensive play. Cooper, our very own “energizer bunny” also poured in 7 points. I know that Cooper would say that he didn’t “finish-off” several lay-ups and probably would have scored 12 points easily if he had. How to go Coop!
Jackson Ryan also made his mark on this game with some very impressive moves to the basket. I was happy to see Jackson score 6 points and play some great basketball at both ends of the court. I hope Jackson will build on today’s successes and become the steady player I know that is in him. Great job, Jackson!
Rounding out the scoring was the steady play of our premiere point guard Griffin Wilson, who scored 8 points and distributed the ball to everyone. Danielle Stamer played her usual tough defense and scored 6 points. Austin Christensen, finding his confidence with every game he plays, scored 3 points. Shriman Bala, who has been scoring more points lately and has been an effective defender at the back of the 2-3 zone defense, had 5 points. And finally team tri-captain Adam Baker added 2 points and played his usual strong game on defense.
While Christian Ouellette and Ben Pohulchuk didn’t get in the scoring column, both players contributed to the team’s success. Ben has been steadily improving at the point with better penetration and crisper passing. Keep up the good work Ben! Christian continues to flourish at the defensive end of the court and is part of many great defensive rebounds and fast-break opportunities. He needs to improve his offensive game and is trying very hard to do so. Keep working hard Christian, it will come!
This win leaves the team with a very impressive 9-2 record with 3 games to go. I hope you will stop by and support your DDS Tigers.
