This was the first game of the season and it was a doubleheader. Alex and I took statistics together for the first time of the season. It went well. He picked it up quickly unlike Devon. Also, New Palestine pulled out the win even though Greenfield got off to a hot start shooting-wise. Maximus tied his career-high of 27 points. However, he missed 6 out of his 11 free throws. @ Westfield (63-73 L) The game against Westfield was the first loss of the season, so it was not a good game obviously. Alex and I got in the groove though and missed barely any statistics. Dawson had himself a day though by scoring a career-high 29 points while grabbing 14 rebounds. vs. New Castle (84-59 W) This game was the home season opener and it was an exciting one. Dawson lead the way with 25 points - including 3 dunks. We also took a massive enough lead to put some of our bench warmers in, which made taking the statistics a little unique. For example, we had to put Austin and Luke instead of the normal starters. However, it was not difficult. It was still taking statistics - just for different players. vs. Franklin Central (67-63 W) The game against Franklin Central was the most exciting game of the year at the time. We came back from a large deficit in the first half to win the game narrowly. What surprised Alex and I was that Maximus was able to draw many fouls. He had a total of 18 free throw attempts while Franklin Central only had 14 the entire game as a TEAM. vs. Shenandoah (70-67 2OT W) I know I have been saying this all along, but THIS game has been the most exciting game of the year. Obviously, it went into two overtimes and that is just exciting in itself. Honestly, it was a shootout between both teams, so Alex had a more difficult job than me because he keeps track of all the shots, assists, etc. However, I did have to record all the rebounds on the missed shots. vs. Beech Grove (63-50 W) Honestly, I missed the first half of this game because I went to the wrong location (and Alex could not make it); however, I went back to Hudl and watched the film to make sure I got the statistics. I do that anyways to make sure the statistics I take are accurate, but since I missed the first half, I had to use a stopwatch and start/stop it whenever there was a dead ball to get the minutes played. @ Decatur Central (53-62 L) This game ended our 4-game win streak; however, that is fine. Losing is part of sports and you just have to accept that. We were able to play with them for the first half; however, they came out in the third quarter and outscored us 21-11. That basically sealed the deal for them. @ Delta (48-64 L) This game marked back-to-back losses for the first time this season. As you can see in the previous game's description, there isn't really much to talk about. We shot 37% from the field while they shot 55% from the field. You aren't going to win games when you shoot 18% worse than your opponent. vs. Southport (46-48 L) This was a heartbreaking loss. We had a chance to win this one at the horn, but Dawson did not get his shot off in time to win it. This marked our third loss in a row... @ Pendleton Heights (71-65 W) This game got us back on track with a win. Honestly, we should have lost this game in the end. If we had played one more quarter, we would have lost most likely. We got off to a really great start (19-5 after one quarter of play), but slowed down in the last 3 quarters. @ Mooresville (61-54 OT W) Even though this game went into overtime, it was not a fun/exciting game to watch at all. The game was just slow and boring to be honest. However, we pulled out another win. This marked back-to-back wins for the second time this season.
