Our local 7th grade Kingsley Junior High School team won the state championship, and I got to see it at Kingsley on Thursday night.
They raced out to a 10-0 lead at the first quarter, and that was no accident. Their discipline was highly impressive. They patiently worked the ball around the perimeter, found open teammates in the paint, and took high-percentage shots.
Their defense was stout. They stole the ball early and often using an effective full court press... in one stretch they scored about ten points without letting the opponent cross half court. Once they settled into their zone defense, they rebounded strongly and gave almost no second shots to the other team.
The lead stretched to 31-10 by the middle of the third quarter. The gym was ROCKING!
Congratulations to a well-coached team that made good for its hometown crowd.
