Prime Time: Playing up with something to prove?

by

This weekend Chris Scaife (9th grader) played up in the 11th/12th grade Division at the Prime Time Tournament in Carrollton, TX with Hardwood Elite. At the tip off, we knew this would be a tough tournament; but we knew our boys would not give in; but be competitive and play above their level.

Game 1 was Saturday morning against Ambassadors for Christ… Chris played well and got 6 rebounds, 1 block, 1 steal, 1 assist and 9 points.

Game 2 was against Raptors. Another tough team, but again Chris played good defense as well as offense. Contributing on both ends of the court. He ended this game with 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 8 points.

Game 3 was on Sunday against the Black Knights. The Black Knights would also prove to be a tough team. They had just previously beat the Ambassadors for Chris by 25 points, so we knew they would be a tough competitor as well as tough to beat. Hardwood Elite would fight down to the last few seconds… In the last 1:50 seconds, Hardwood Elite would have to play with only 4 players; due to 3 players fouling out; but managed to pull out a 5 point win! Chris played tough and was able to contribute on both ends of the court offense as well as defense.

Our final game; Game 4 was against Texas Ice. Again, Chris played hard and contribute on defense as well as offense. He finished this game with 15 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist.

Chris continues to improve and this weekend’s tournament was just a show that Hard Work, Does Pay Off!”. Chris, keep working hard on as well as off the court! Remembering just what ChrisGotGame3 stands for…. God first, Others second, Myself third!!!
