Game 3 -- Sharks vs. Blazers

The Sharks played a strong second half but came up on the short end 20-11 to the Blazers Sunday afternoon at Mickle.

The Blazers raced to a commanding 16-2 halftime lead after making their first four shots of the game. But the Sharks came back after halftime and played with more passion and won the second half 9-4.

Jack led the Sharks with four points, while Joey added a three-pointer, and Bret and Austin each had two points.

Austin came away with the Shark this week! Austin grabbed six big rebounds to lead the team. Grant added five while Nate had four. Every Shark had at least one rebound and for that they should be proud! The Shark goes to the player that has the most rebounds in the game. There is a photo with Bret and the Shark from the first week. Just a reminder to bring the Shark back either to practice or the day of the game.

2009 -- Game 1

The season got off to a quick start at Mickle on Sunday afternoon when the Sharks traveled to play the Fire and came out on the short end 24-7.

The Sharks had to deal with a big guy inside for the Fire and he was tough to deal with. But the Sharks showed a lot of hustle and desire throughout the game.

Nate, Jack, and Brendan all scored two points while Austin added a point.

The Sharks return to action next Sunday again at 3 p.m. (note time change) at Mickle.

The '09 Sharks Rosters

Well after tonight's practice we are heading into our first game. So here is a quick roundup of the talent:

Jack -- Jack is a newcomer to the team. I see him as a strong ballhandler and scorer and is a great addition.

Grant -- Grant is back for his second season with the Sharks. I've noticed that he has really become a part of the team is an much more comfortable.

Austin -- Austin is a newcomer to the team as well and previously played with Jack. I believe he is the tallest player on the team and will be quite a force inside.

Nate -- Nate is back for I believe his fifth season with the Sharks. He provides a lot of quickness outfront and is a great defender.

Jake -- Jake is tough to handle downlow. I think his hands have gotten much better and he has worked hard to become an even better player.

Joey -- Joey is playing his fourth season and we are thrilled to have him as he's a great all-around player.

Brendan -- Brendan just moved closer to us on the block and it's great to have him on the team as well. He is great with his outside shot.

Harlan -- Harlan is new to the team and will provide height inside as well. He is very athletic and is coming along quite nicely.

Bret -- The son of the coach grew a few more inches this season but will move outside more. He's been working hard on his outside shot and is a strong rebounder.

Be sure to come to the game at 4 p.m. on Sunday at Mickle Court No. 1. We will be the team in the white.
