FBC Defenders

FBC Defenders (Frederick) lost a tough game to CBC, a Connecticut team, at Penn State.  The game got started with Karalyne tying up CBC’s center under the basket for a jump ball.  Nay Nay also showed some strong D with a block in the paint.  Janissa put up a 3, missed, but Karalyne rebounded and put it back up for 2.  Unfortunately, the team also had several errant passes which led to turnovers and found themselves down by 7 to 23 with just a few minutes to go in the half.  Karalyne hung in there with good post defense of CBC’s big girl. Jackie executed some tough defense, coming away with a steal.  Parris hit an outside shot, called a 2 by the refs, but a 3 from the parent’s view, to bring us to 22 to 35.  Parris also hit 2 of 2 from the line after being fouled on a drive to the basket.  Karalyne showed a spin move, turnaround jumper for 2.  Despite a good effort, and with a short-handed squad, the team lost with a final score of 34-46.
