We are currently 4-0 this season playing basketball and had a game on Saturday with the other undefeated team in the league. They had 2 scorers in the top 5 in the league (one averaging 30 and the other averaging 22 points per game). We had talked about working to contain their top players and to lock down our defense.
We came out pretty fired up and put together the best game I've ever seen a Vineyard team play in 7 years in the league. We shut them down on defense, kept them off the boards, and played one of the best offensive games ever. With over 13 minutes left in the game, we had a time out and I told the team we needed to start slowing down and stop trying to run up the score. We did slow it down and just made sure our defense was still ok for the last part of the game. Even after not giving it everything we had for that much of the second half (we only play 20 minute halves), it still ended like this. I don't think the other team was quite ready for us (we are the home team in the picture below). I was pretty proud to say the least.
There are still a few games left including playing against Milan Vineyard...so we aren't celebrating too much just yet. Have to close out the season before we really begin to cheer. Just not everyday you put together a game like this one...had to show off my pride just a bit.

Way to go Kev!!! It's sure nice to lay the smack down on a team once in awhile. Glad to see you more concerned about defense. That always ends up helping out on the offensive side.
