EHE Guardians @ Brashier Bengals

We had an interim coach in this game due to the fact our normal coach had announced he would coach a different team for a game to raise some money for charity or something of that sort. So we were coached by Mr Howard (Peter's dad) and his son Ben Howard(Peter's brother). The other team lined up in what looked like a 3-2 or a very messy 2-3. We started off the game terrible and neither team scored the first two minutes. The refs needless to say didn't help us a bit. I would like to say they were power-happy whistle freaks. Some of the bad first half calls included an offensive foul on MO where he was knocked down and the defender was not budged, and a travel called on me where i stole the ball and was tripped from behind. I stumbled and fell on the basketball to which they called a travel. I started off the game with a jumper in their lazy zone. We brought it down again and I received the ball. I turned to the goal and made a thread-the-needle pass to MO and he executed by making his layup. At halftime we were up by about 8. In the third quarter MO found his stroke and got 4 quick points, but due to a minor ankle injury and the fact that he could not get open he was forced to pass the ball away the rest of the time. Later in the third quarter I drew what i thought was a good charge and was called a charge but had many reports from teammates and family after the game saying that I flopped. Regardless we got the call. Also I was embarrassed because I had the ball passed all the way from the three point line through my legs and out of bounds. To start the fourth quarter Brashier made a quick run and came within two. But they were quickly silenced by the excellent shooting and free throws of Will Whiteside and ended up winning 36-28. it was not our best game but we got a win for the interim coach and stayed undefeated. Our next game will be our hardest yet against the Spartanburg Eagles.

Oconee Christian vs EHE Guardians

We won the tip and began the game. We started off strong and took a quick first quarter lead. It was a very boring controlled game until tthe fourth quarter when we started to give up our fourth quarter lead. Oconee had 3 threes and came within 9 points, but the excellent play of Matt harms carried us through the fourth quarter. 9 of his 13 points came in the fourth. Near the end of the game Matt received the ball in the post. He was pushed and no foul was called. During the play while he was being pushed he tossed the ball towards the basket and it went up and through the basket and fell out. It was hilarious. We ended up winning 57-41. This advanced us to 7-0 Our next game is next Tuesday against Brashier and hopefully we can stay unbeaten.

EHE Guardians vs. Greenville Homeschool Hurricanes

Only 4 days after Thanksgiving the EHE Guardians were back at it again trying to maintain they're unbeaten streak. We were bound to be a little bit rusty in this game and it sure showed. We won the tip but were down by a few points early. We came back in the first quarter due to the shooting spark of Will Whiteside. We controlled the game until the fourth quarter when we once again proceeded to slowly start to give up the game. Our nine point 4th quarter lead was decreased to 1 point. Later in the 4th Will and Caleb both committed their 5th foul and were out of the game. Off of two free throws Greenville took the lead with a minute left. Next time down the court off a missed free throw Kai ripped down an emphatic rebound and was fouled. We were in the bonus which sent Kai to the free throw line. The gym was rocking with noise and excitement. Kai missed a close free throw which lead to a foul by me. They missed the first free throw and the ball went out of bounds In our favor of possession. We broke the press and with 15 seconds left I took a beautiful pass by Mo and hit a layup which almost fell right off the rim and missed. My head would've belonged to Coach who was frustrated after a long game of missed layups. But it went in, put us up 41-40 and the crowd went bananas. It was louder than I'd ever heard it. Anthony intercepted the ball away at the other end of the court and was intentionally fouled which meant we got two free throws and the ball. Anthony bricked the first free throw and Greenville homeschool called a timeout. We all told Anthony he was going to make the free throw and sure enough it swished right through the hoop. We inbounded the ball with 7 seconds left. Anthony found a running Kai wide open at midcourt for a long pass but when Kai caught the ball he took an incidental extra step and traveled. So with 4 seconds left they had the ball with a chance to win or tie. They inbounded it and ran their best 3 point shooter off some screens and he ended up with the ball. He checked the clcok and then shot the ball for the win. It hit the back rim and hung on the front rim for a second. There was complete stillness, Nobody moved. All of us were seeing a De Ja Vu of our game against OLR last year. The ball slowly rolled off the rim and bounced to the floor. We had pulled out a very close ball game. Our next game is tomorrow against Oconee.
