The Navy team as a whole impressed us this weekend. They showed off their ability to get up and pressure the basketball very well, and that turned into them showcasing their ability to get out and run in the fastbreak. They also did an amazing job getting post touches and scoring out of that, whether it was a post move or a high percentage kick out 3 point shot. The offensive side of the ball really got them going.

Standout Player: Noah Heuer Showcased everything that he has been working on in private. He seemed to find a way to score in the post every time he touched the ball. He scored in a variety of way, drop steps, hook shots, and fade away jumpers. He also connected on multiple catch and shoot 3's and knocked down a high percentage of his FT's. His improvement with his jumpshot has really taken his game to the next level.

The 8th grade team had a good weekend as they finished the weekend 2-2. They were short handed on Saturday missing a couple of starters, but the next two guys stepped up to the plate and did an outstanding job of filling the role of PG and PF.
