For whatever reason, the Hunter team keeps getting in the paper this year. There was an article about last night's Northridge loss (Salt Lake Tribune article) and then an article and pictures of last week's Skyline loss (Salt Lake Tribune articles and pictures). Here is a picture from the Skyline game.
The report: Hunter is now 5-3, which I think is pretty respectable considering their last year's season.
- They lost to Juan Diego - off game, terrible officiating, short and ugly opponents, and mega coaching errors.
- They lost to Skyline - good solid team who didn't miss a basket, cut a huge defecit to within 2, would have been a huge upset, but couldn't quite finish.
- They lost to Northridge - totally cold, leading scorers not playing well, dark and stinky gym, several players out hurt and sick
Willie plays all of the JV game and gets substantial minutes in the varsity games. He is a very strong defensive player, a good rebounder, and has even hit a couple of 3's this season. He averages around 4 points per game in the varsity game, but you'll have to ask my dad what his rebounding average is. Willie's best game was 25 points in a JV against Cyprus.
The highlight of the season however, may have been tonight's halftime show. Mamma Judy got called down to shoot a free throw for a prize! She um . . . threw the ball . . . at the basket . . . about 3 feet short of the rim . . . . Good try mom! Unfortunately Annie had to leave early and didn't get the excitement on video. Oh well. Maybe it will happen again some time.
Go Hunter!
