Hargrave played a tough game on the road against LCA. We went into the 4th quarter with the game seemingly in hand. It turned into a tight game late as the starters had to be put back into the game to seal the game. LCA scored nearly as many points in that quarter as the rest of the game combined. Hargrave continued to send LCA to the charity stripe repeatedly. Luckily enough, we scored enough to offset LCA's big quarter to win. Chase Babington, Matt Reynolds, Matt Long, and Jeff Oboite controlled the inside of the lane most of the game on defense to keep the bigger opponents in check. Chase ended with 4 points and owned the boards. Matt Long had 6 points and really gave us some much needed attitude on defense. Jeff added two points and had two key steals against fast breaks.

The most difficult part of coaching at Hargrave for me is to take a group that has never played together before and try to turn them into a "team". Last night, the JV players left behind the individual and turned into a team - at least for one game. All thirteen players played at least 5 minutes, all of them shot the ball at least three times, 10 scored, 10 had rebounds, 9 had assists, 8 had steals, and all 13 cheered while others were on the floor. Finally, we beat a good team by a large amount. This team is a pleasure to coach. I am proud of all of them.
