West
Herts Worriers Under 18 Team Gives Spitfires Team A Good Run
No
one was more surprised than the Spitfires team who saw a new
look West Herts team on Saturday 23 February 08 in an English
Basketball National League game at Leyton Youth Centre E10.
West
Herts played with a purpose using a man to man defence which
pressured Spitfires attempts to advance the basketball. A tall
West Herts team played with a two guard front threated time
after time on offence to keep the scores close. Spitfires Captain
Matt Pennock called the hud to reset the defence for Spitfires
which was adjusted many times in the first quarter of the game
which ended West Herts 24 v 29 Spitfires.
Spitfires
using a small team due to injury, utilised its bench with quicker
players were often frustrated by a junk defence which slowed
down the Spitfires offence. Spitfires tried to establish its
offence were made to push out and penetrate using its quick
guards. But it was when West Herts decided to use the 1-2-1-1
press to restrict Spitfires ball advancement was when Spitfires
came into their own and found the gaps to take the lead.
Final
Score: Spitfires 103 Vs 89 West Herts
