The Cougars' basketball season opened last night with a tough 53-32 loss to Redwood Christian. After a hard-fought first-half, the Cougars were able to pull within three points midway through the Third Period, before Redwood Christian used a late surge to widen the gap, and ultimately put the game out of reach. The Cougars were plagued by numerous foul calls in the first-half, which resulted in four different starters each having three by half-time. The result was a lot more bench time for them, than expected. Still, the game was a good first effort to build upon, and gave our bench a chance to get some needed game-experience. Bharath led all Cougars with nine points, all which came in a strong second-half effort, while Chris T. added seven. Other highlights included Chris Y. knocking down the team's first three-pointer of the season, and Michael's strong effort in the paint which yielded six points and, at least ten rebounds. I appreciated the boys' all-around effort, and, more importantly their great attitudes. While we made a lot of mistakes (Coach included), there are a lot of things that we can certainly improve for our next game. I look forward to a very competitive season.
Here's a breakdown of our scoring:
Bharath - 9
Chris T. - 7
Michael - 6
Brandon - 4
Chris Y. - 3
Maurice - 2
Brennan - 1
