Last Weekend of Storm CYO Reg Season

Saturday and Sunday mark the last two games of the CYO regular season. Sat. Grace's team plays a pretty bad St Mary's team but on Sunday they should get a challenge from Good Shepherd who they played last year in AAU. If they win both games they will be the only undefeated team in the "A" league for the second year in a row. GO STORM!

Once this weekend is out of the way The Storm will participate in the CYO playoffs. They should do well.

First half of Super League wraps up the following weekend. They should have schedules for the second half by then. The only loss Grace's team has in Super League is against a very good "sister" Lightning team. Be nice to meet them again to see if Grace's team has improved enough to beat them this go 'round.

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...
