EHE Guardians @ Tabernacle Rams

We were up against the Rams again and this time they had gained a starter and we had lost one. As you remember they had a phenomonal left handed point guard named Patrick Robinson. We started off strong going on a 9-2 run but then we got lazy and Patrick caught fire hitting a long two a layup and a three back to back to back. He scored every first quarter point and they led by about one. We had a strong presence from our guards in this game. With 30 seconds left we had the ball up by 2. I caught the ball in the corner waited and no one would get open. So i attempted a lob pass to Matt which went barely over his head. Patrick took it the other way for an and 1. He missed the free throw so it was tied. We brought it down and WIll made a jumper. Patrick then raced down the court and hit a layup at the buzzer. Overtime. To start off the overtime someone besides Patrick hit a three. They eventually went up 5 and we could not get anything. Eventually it got so frustrating that Will was charged with a technical foul. The little momentum we had was gone and Tabernacle won 33-30.

Calvary @ EHE Guardians

Pulled out a 3rd straight win 51-43. Will addeed 17 points. Peter had 7 and played better than he has all year. I added 9 and Caleb about 9.

Greenville Classical Lions @ EHE Guardians

This very well may have been our best game of the year. We started strong played strong and finished strong. We ended up letting up only about 5 second half points. Just about everyone scored and it was an all around great effort. Our next game is against Calvary

Oakwood Eagles @ EHE Guardians

Today the GUardians coming off Christmas break and our first loss and were up against the Eagles. The bad thing is that Mo had broken his wrist playing in a middle school game against the Titans and now out for 6 weeks which could very possibly mean the rest of the season. We had to make some position changes like moving Caleb to wing and me to Caleb's spot. As any team would we started off slow. At the end of the third quarter the score was tied at 22. It was a battle of who wanted to win it more. The truth was it was Will. He caught fire in the fourth quarter and led us to a convincing victory. By the end of the game we had won by 10. Our next game was against Greenville Classical
