U16 strong win 62-27 v Hucknall

LLJBC U16s find their game in CVL

The U16s won convincingly in the CVL against Hucknall after putting out their strongest team so far. Having beaten Hucknall earlier in the season LLJBC were looking to close the double over an under strength team.

After a slow opening 3 minutes the team found their rhythm showing strength on the fast-break taking a 7pt lead into the first break. In the second quarter they capitalised on this with some great offensive rebounding that secured second-chance points. The scoring was accelerated by effective passing out of defence, advancing the ball up the court through effective passing with a speed the opposition couldn’t handle, out scoring them 29 to 5 in the second. 

After half time, coach changed the tactics. The team slowed down, looked to run the clock and try to move Hucknall’s defence around and expose exploitable gaps. A difficult tactic, requiring restraint - allowing the team to see attacking options they may not have identified before.

it was an impressive display and showed what the team is capable of - next up is Rushcliffe, on 23Mar, it won’t be so easy but hopefully lessons have been learnt.
