Repeat...next up, Three-peat!

Joshua's Celtics basketball team were undefeated this season and took Championship for the second season in a row!! Next season, the Celtics will try their best to defend their title and come out at the end with a "three-peat"!

Here's a summary of the game: A hard fought 53-30 championship game win. The Celtics getting off to a slow start in the beginning, falling behind by as many as 12 points. This was new "territory" for the team, as they very rarely were ever behind this season. There was awesome effort by the team - EVERYONE contributed - to fight back. Some good calls, some bad calls and some no calls...but that happens everywhere.

Everyone knows that in sports, the stronger players are usually the ones to start the game. In our case, however, our team has very little weak points. So, rather than group our players into "starters" and "2nd stringers", I prefer to refer to them as "units". As in - "first unit", "second unit". Neither one is better than the other, they both have the same job and goal in mind. Unfortunately, the rules of basketball only allow five players on the court from one team at a time.

That being said - our first unit was outscored 13-4 in the first period. Our second unit outscored the other team 10-6, thus making up 4 points. In the third period, the first unit outscored the other team 12-10, thus making up 2 more points. Here's the kicker, in the fourth period, our second unit outscored the opponent 11-0!!!! And the "deal was sealed". A GREAT EFFORT BY EVERYONE!!!

The Celtics held the opposing team to 1 point in the last two periods combined. Thus, solidifying my belief that "defense wins championships".

Cogratulations to the Celtics again. Good luck to you all in the RTOC (recreational tournament of champions) and the All-Star Sunday!
