BHS tourny

BHS hosted a one day tourny today.  Jonathan's team played all 3 of their games at Simle Middle School.
Their first game was against the Bismarck Storm.  It was a close game.  Mavericks won by 10 or so.  Jonathan had 6 points, 2 rebounds, some blocked shots, and maybe and assist or 2.

 The 2nd game was against Warrior Pride, which is a Selfridge team.  Very physical, but not as competitive score-wise.  Jonathan got a lot of play time in this game.  He has 6 points, 2 rebounds, some blocked shots, and an assist or 2 (okay...maybe that was the first game....I didn't do a good job keeping stats this game.)

The final, and championship game was against the Bismarck Cougars.  That's right....the team we always take 2nd place to.  Beat them once for 1st place last year, but otherwise the beat us.  They are short, fast, and can hit 3 point shots.  They play aggressive and scrappy defense.  The took the lead early, and led by as much as 8 in the first half.  They had a 5 point lead at half time (might have been a 7 point lead, but Jonathan had an awesome block shot just before the half!).  The Mavericks took the  lead early in the 2nd half, and led by as much as 6 points, before the Cougars got back into it.  The Cougars got ahead by 1.  They were trying to run out the clock.  Mavericks were able to take possession.  They were able to break the full court press with an across court baseball pass to a wide open Jayce...right under our basket.  SCORE!  Mavericks up by 1.  14 seconds to play.  Great defense by Mavs, and the Mavs WIN!  Such a great game by both teams.
I didn't get any game pics of the Cougars game.  Too Tense.
Next weekend we have a Mandan tournament.  3 of our more competitive opponents are in it, including  the Fire.  We have yet to beat that team.
