Big Weekend

GraceAnne's Super League team, Lightning Hudson, starts its schedule this weekend. Their opening game will be Friday night at 8:30 at Island Garden. She then has a CYO League game with The Storm at St Mary's in Manhasset at 2:30 Saturday followed by her second game of the Super League season at Island Garden at 6:30 Saturday night. This crazy weekend wraps up on Sunday with a home game (thankfully) at St Hyacinth gym at 3:30.

If the two teams don't get tired or lose focus they could very well come away with four wins. It doesn't look like there are any more 4 game weekends on the schedule this winter. This is very similar to an AAU tournament schedule which they'll have to get used to come spring. Lots of sleep and healthy meals.

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...
