September 30, 2014 Post Game.. No Game this Thursday!

5-0 with today's win.  Everyone contributed to the win and we're making improvements every game.  

No game this Thrusday!  Ewa Makai and Kapolei game was rained out.  They are scheduled for this Thursday.

We will need to wait to see who wins before we can figure out when we will play.   Most likely - Kapolei next Tuesday, however if Ewa Makai wins - game will have to wait another week because they go on Fall Break next week.

Will keep you posted.

Practice schedule:  This Thursday, Friday, & Monday.  
3 solid days of fixing some of the things we see and working on fundamentals.

Thanks for all the support!!!

Hi All,

3-0 with our win over Ewa Makai.   We are pleased with the effort in games, most of points are scored off of passes from others.   Fastbreak points have been scored too.  In these games that aren't so close, we are getting our less experienced girls more playing time.  

A huge thank you to Coach Tittle who volunteered to help out with the refereeing and to Jose Tansiongco for stepping in to do the boy's game. 

Tomorrow's game is a rematch with Pearl City.  We expect to improvement with all of our players.

Thank you for all the support and for the good sportmanship.

HI All,

Game tomorrow is at Ewa Makai.  There's a couple of ways to get there:

Directions:   Get onto freeway going to Kapolei/Waianae:

Then you have a couple of options.

1.  Take the Ewa Exit 5A and then merge onto  Fort Weaver Rd.     Drive for about 4 miles (many stoplights)  and then turn right after you see Foodland on your right.  This will be Gieger road.  Continue until you reach Kapolei Parkway.  Evw Middle will be on your right.

or

2.  Take the next exit - Exit3 - Kapolei and then turn left at stoplight, get in the left side lanes and then continue until you hit Kapolei Parkway.  Turn left, continue on Kapolei Parkway until you see Ewa Makai on right. 

Option #2 is longer but less lights to deal with.

FYI:  Ewa Makai beat Pearl City last Thursday.

We will hopefully get more playing time for our less experienced players this week.

****Need tshirt order forms now!!!!

September 12, 2014 Friday

Wow, quite a game yesterday.  #23 is one of the most talented girls basketball players we will see.  Thanks to a total team effort, we pulled the game out 24-23.

Thank you to all the drivers and the support at the courts.  

Next game will be at Ewa Makai Middle on Tuesday, September 16th.

*** T-shirt order forms were due yesterday!!! Missing orders from half the team...
Please turn in as soon as possible, so we can order the shirts in time for the end of this current league.

September 11, 2014 Thursday Game Today at Kapolei Middle!

Families, 
Thanks to all of the families who came out and supported the team on Tuesday - and a special thanks to those who transported players who needed a ride.

Final score of the game was 26-8.   The coaches thought our girls played hard.
Many of our girls played very nervously and as a result, had a difficult time executing.  Panic set in and we committed way too many turnovers.  

Today's game against Kapolei will be more competitive.   

Getting to Kapolei Middle is pretty simple:

1.  Take the H2, then the Waianae EXIT1B to H1, pass the Ewa exit.
2.  Then take Exit 3:  HI-8930, Kapolei/Ewa. 
3.  Take a left at the light onto Kualakai Pkwy, then get in the right lane.  That road will eventually end (it's about 3 mile stretch - you'll  see the rail construction on the left )
4.  Turn right onto Kapolei Parkway.  You will see Kapolei Middle School on your left and will have to make a U-Turn after seeing it to get to the parking lot.  Courts are to your left as you face the entrance.

We hope to leave the school by 3:15 or earlier  -  I think there will be road construction on Meheula by the school.   

I am trying to get your email addresses so these posts can be sent to you.

Go Blazers!

Families,

We have games at Pearl City Highlands, Tuesday - Outside courts, park by swimming pool - and at Kapolei Middle School on Thursday.

We are picking up the girls by the restrooms at the park next to the school - the street where the bus lanes are.  It's too crowded in the front of the school.   We plan to leave by 3:15.  If you are able to drive please meet us out there.

Reminders, $20 for the banquet and referees is due as soon as possible and the Tshirt order form is due by Thursday, September 11th.   We'd like to order them by the end of the week so that we can get them by the end of this current Fall Season.

Finally, remember we are guests at the host sites, please let the Players Play, The Coaches Coach, and the Referees to officiate!
