Game Recaps 2025-2026

12/10/25

 

Basketball is a complicated game. There are a lot of things that players need to be think about in a game such as dribbling and playing offense or defense. After all, the official basketball rules book is 196 pages long. 

We had about one month of practice to prepare for our first game today.  The goal was to keep it simple by working on 4 things:  passing, shooting, defense, and rebounds. While there still is some work to do, the coaches were pleasantly surprised by how the players performed today. 

Our opponent Aurora was shut out in the first half with score of 18-0. It presented an opportunity for rest of the players on the roster to see playing time in the 2nd half. The game ended with us winning 22-14. 

RJ Ormsby led the way with 12 points and Daviangel Herrera-Yaguaracuto added 10. Analena Russi had the last two points. The team got some good hustle from Vignesh Stradley, Seyed Hashemi, and Shaibam Abubaker.
