First Basketball Scrimmage

On Sunday we had our first basketball scrimmage against Gustavus in Minnesota. We won the first have of the scrimmage by 11 and lost the second half of the scrimmage by 1, so we ended up winning that whole scrimmage by 10. They played a full varsity scrimmage and then played half of a JV scrimmage. It was nice because the only times we have scrimmaged have been against each other in practice and you can only do that for so long. Sometimes it's hard to scrimmage in practice because when we try to run plays, since we all know that plays some people try and cheat the plays and we end up not being able to run all the way through them. So it was nice to run the plays against a different team that doesn't know our play and we were able to run them and execute them very well. I am very proud of the way we played on Sunday and I am anxious to see what the rest of this season brings. After the scrimmage our coach sent us footage that they video taped so we could watch it and look at the stuff we needed to correct. There was plenty of things we need to work on but I feel like we played good for out first scrimmage. It didn't help when there were plenty of people that were nervous to start but once they got in and things got going they started to relax and play the game.
