A Tale of Two Games


Elliot played in 2 games tonight. The first, a championship game for the season title. The Storm versus the Titans for all the marbles. Elliot played with a lot of intensity and passion. This led to foul after foul after foul after foul after foul. That's right, he fouled out early in the third quarter. Blast! The Storm played hard and kept the game within reach. It came down to the last second. We had the ball, shot and scored to win by 1!! Unfortunately, time had expired a 1/2 second earlier. Double blast!! However, there was no time for tears, at least on the court. We had a second game to play, our first in a tournament.
Elliot pulled it together in the car ride over, thank goodness. The second game was against the Havoc. The game went back and forth from beginning to end. Elliot played amazing. He had 14 points, played great D, hit foul shots and stayed out of foul trouble. Sweet. This game too came down to the last second. Davis made 2 foul shots with 19 seconds left to put us up 29-27. The boys hustled and played great D to cause a turnover and then ran the time out. Double sweet!!
Thinking back on the night, Elliot said overall it was good cause the Titans didn't even get medals.

How did #21 not even make the post-game write-up? From my vantage point, he was pivotal in both games. HA! Totally kidding.
