Basketball vs. OCC by Ryan

On Saturday, the CCC basketball teams played Onondaga Community College. Because I was working for the first semester, I just joined the team a little over a month ago, so I still get really nervous before games. For me, it's also a weird feeling to play games on Saturdays. I think it's because throughout high school almost all games are played on weekdays after school. So waking up in the morning and having nothing but a basketball game is exciting, but strange.

Unfortunately, the womens' basketball team has a limited number of players and therefore have been struggling. They are doing everything they can but it's hard to prepare when you cannot run drills 5 on 5. Onondaga has one of the best womens' teams in the country, so they won fairly easily, but our women tried hard the entire game.

In the men's game we were trailing by 15 points at halftime. Coming out of the locker room, we began to shoot much better and made quite a few threes in the second half. They seemed to have an answer for every basket we made and in the end they pulled out the victory. Our guys played very hard and I was proud of our effort. Tomorrow, we travel to face TC3, one of the top ranked teams on the east coast. It should be fun. If we play as well as we are capable, we could beat them. I will be posting the result in the next blog. Thanks again for reading, and have a great day.
