St Dom's 3 on 3

GGT and A had a tough night. GraceAnne played in a 3 on 3 with her friends and teammates Tristan, Grace Stone and Amara. They were up against a 6th grade girl's team and the rest of the teams were boys. They played well but not well enough to win any games. Seemed to get intimidated by playing boys. Grace was tough and fought for rebounds and loose balls against bigger stronger players, Stone was determined and got better throughout the evening but tonight it just wasn't enough. I know Tris and Stone are mad and Gracey is too. I'm hoping it was a good experience for all four of them and that they will use it as motivation to keep getting better. All are good kids and good players.









The four also played and won 2 games for their CYO team the St Hyacinth Storm. Grace scored rebounded and blocked shots against St Rose on Friday night and grabbed a bunch of rebounds against Our Lady of Peace on Saturday in a surprising blowout against a good team. The OLP point guard has some future and I think we'll be seeing more of her.

Defensive rotation is critical as it is in all zone defenses. This can be a fun defense to play that confuses offenses and leads to steals and breaks. It does put pressure on your post players and can expose the corners. Basic Rotations and Positions of the 3-2 (1-2-2) zone Starting Positions    Ball on wing: Defender 3 comes out to guard the ball. Defender 1 drops down to the high post area.    Ball in corner: Defender 5 goes out to guard the ball. Defender 4 slides over to defend the low post. Defender 2 drops down to either defend the opposite low block or the wing if a skip pass is thrown. Defender 1 defends the high post area. Defender 3 can either sink in to stop penetration or apply pressure b...
