However, they gave the Hawks six opportunities to score on one possession which ended as the final tally. Final score was the Hawks 32 and the Warriors 23.
We played much better than our first outing. Offensively we attacked the basket more and were able to get the Hawks to take off the press with an effective press break. Although we registered 22 rebounds for the game, the Hawks still outpaced us here. We need to be more intentional in bring those down on both sides of the court.
Leading the way for the Warriors was Adrian Gonzales with 11 pts, Kye Morris 4, Etnan Olmstead and Kale Miller each with a 3 pointer and Christopher Pino with 2 pts. Adrian also led the tem with 6 rebounds, Ethan 5, Kye and Landry Fritzgerald 4 each. Bren Kapplemann had a team high 3 steals.
The Warriors have a week to get ready for Hays and Great Bend on January 21st.
