Basketball 1-16-07 Recap

Congratulations to the Good Shepherd Boys Basketball team as they started their new year off with a great team victory over Community Christian of Port Charlotte to take their record to 1-1. While Player of the Game Chris Barr led the way with a great offensive night with 19 points, 7 rebounds, and four steals the whole team contributed to a great defensive effort. Ricky, Kolby, R.J., and Zach gave the Rams the speed and aggressiveness that caused many turnovers while Brandon, John, and Timmy gave us the size inside to constantly make it difficult for the other team to get rebounds and take easy shots. Congratulations also go to Destin for playing his first game of basketball today and doing a sound job and contributing to the team. Please come see the boys battle it out against FCI this Thursday at 3:30 in what should be a high energy up tempo affair. Here are the rest of the stats:
Ricky=2pts., 3 steals, and 1 rebound
Kolby=5pts., 2 steals, and 2 rebounds
R.J.=3 steals
Brandon=3 rebounds
Zach=4 steals and 2 rebounds
John=4 rebounds
TJ=2 steals and 2 rebounds

Unfortunately the girls team didn't fare as well today against the solid Community Christian of Port Charlotte girls team. While the girls did fall to a record of 1-1 they can certainly hold their heads up high with the effort they put in. With that kind of effort the wins will come. Caryn collected 3 steals and 6 points while Allie also added 3 points and 7 rebounds. Jessica Cotrill, also known as "Twitchy", contributed with 2 rebounds, a steal, and 4 points. Congratulations to all the girls for their determination as they never gave up at any point during the game.

Finally I would like to congratulate and thank all of our players, coaching staff, and parents for showing class and a Christ like attitude during, in between, and after the games. I am especially impressed by our student athletes for acting in a way that I can truly say I felt was honoring to God. Thank you.

In Him,

Coach Neff

P.S.
The updated schedule will be posted sometime Wednesday, hopefully early morning. Thanks.
