  Brendan shaved a ball  Our second match against Cheetahs was awesome. We should have won the match, but our team ran out of energy. They came hard at us and the back was open-wide for them to score. Toward the end of the 2nd half, we were up by 4 points. They scored four points to equalize.  We also missed four golden opportunities because of timing and fatigue. On Thursday, we'll work on our next strategy to win the match.

So, it's all about you.  See you all on Thursday.  Coach Johnny AJ, Ethan, Brendan, and Isaiah in action against Cheetahs
