Sharks win

The Sharks used a good combination of players in defeating the Mavericks 21-14 in their first game of division play this season. The Sharks got off to a good start and led at halftime 12-6. Pressure defense and good rebounding in the first half was impressive. They continued to expand on the lead into the second half before the Mavericks cut into the lead. But a basket by Nate and a free throw by JT got the Sharks chomping again. The use of a 1-3-1 zone defense really boosted the Sharks. In a couple of weeks we can start running a man-to-man defense so we will start working on that in practice too. Jack and Nate led the team with six points each. JT added three while Bret, Brendan and Joey each scored two. Brendan made a very unselfish pass to Nate for a basket, Logan made some tremendous hustling plays on defense while Sam, Jake and Skyler did a great job hustling after rebounds. Go Sharks!
