The "D" Train Keeps Rolling
Tonight the OLV boys played a strong game against FE Millella's team at Island Garden. After another slow start (don't make this a habit boys!) where their opponents jumped out to a quick 10-2 lead, OLV began their comeback. Despite bringing a 2-0 record to the court, Millella's team had no answer for the OLV press as they saw blue uniforms swarm on each possession. OLV finished the game with a sweet 35-23 win! But there is no rest for the weary as they have practice tomorrow night.
The first man gets the oyster (Bay), the second man gets the shell.
Home court advantage wasn't enough to help St. Dominic's on Sunday evening. The OLV boys took an early lead which they never relinquished. Strong offensive play teamed with continuous defensive pressure were the elements of a solid 34-26 win for the Floral Park players.

Let the Games Begin
Halfway through our first weekend of basketball and the season is already exciting.
Friday's Super League game in Jericho saw the boys start off slowly (really slowly -- the first basket of the season wasn't scored until almost 10 minutes of the first half had elapsed!) But once Michael Meegan got the ball rolling with the first basket of the season, the boys from Floral Park wouldn't be stopped until they secured a 22-11 win over Jericho.
Back in action on Saturday evening against a talented team from St. Edwards. Initially, the boys in blue had some difficulty stopping the St. Edward's offense and were down by as much as 12 points in the first half. But, after what must have been an inspirational halftime pep talk from Coach Hayden, they roared back to a commanding 40-31 win. A nail biter for parents on the bleachers and lesson for the players on perseverance.
Good job OLV!
