Crusaders Corral Centurions - Post a 30-7 Win

It was a very balanced effort as every healthy member of the Crusaders scored in this one, and the team played some great defense along the way as well. It was a super fun night that started with team introductions from Coach Frederick and ended some (scarfed down I might add) celebratory pizza from Coach Keith.
Playing a non league foe whose Boys team had just posted a win over the Boys 6th Grade B team, and doing so without one player due to illness and another one limited by injury, the Crusaders rallied together and played their most complete game of the season.  Faith got five points in the first quarter, with Evie hitting a free throw and adding shot while Abby got a putback basket. The Crusaders led 5-2 after the first six minutes, with both of the Centurion points from from the free throw line. 

Faith extended the lead to 13-2 as Riley & Tai teamed up for eight points and then both Kayleigh & Isabella M got in on the act, with Kayleigh converting a layup after a nice pass from Riley & Bella getting her points after some excellent ball movement from Evie. Faith did not allow any points in the second stanza, and led 17-2 at the break. 

Founders scored on a nice inbounds play to make it 17-4 but Faith scored the remaining five points of the frame, with again Tai and Riley splitting the points.  It was 22-4 after eighteen minutes. Faith added eight points in the final quarter, with Shay & Marin each getting a basket and Abby notching four points. Shay's basket came after an EXCELLENT pass from Isabella R on the fast break...well done! Founders added a basket and a free throw to account for the 30-7 final score. 

Every Faith player in unform scored on the day, and the defensive focus remained stout. It was a good day to be a Crusader! 

Go Faith!!
