After missing the Opening Game of the 2024 CYBA season last week due to my COVID-19 self-induced quarantine, I was anxious to watch grandson Jacob's Boys Grade 6 Orange team in action today.
The CYBA stresses a fun, nurturing
learning environment above all else
in its games and practices

The Orange (o-1) had a tough game today against the Boilermakers (1-0) or so we thought, because the Orange would only have six of their eight players show up today. They played hard, determined basketball today.
During warm-ups, we hoped that
more players would arrive . . .
. . . but they did not
The Orange were playing good
defense and running the floor
Jacob did a great job under the
glass grabbing several rebounds
Nice screen by the Boilermakers
Jacob battling for another board
This short jumper just missed
Find that open man, Jacob
Keep running . . .
. . . keep working . . .
. . . keep hustling . . .
. . . and keep REBOUNDING!
About to drive to the basket
The Orange started off like the proverbial house on fire today.
End of the First Quarter
Orange 19
Boilermakers 7
WOW!
Considering that the Orange only scored 27 points total last week, I must say that it was an impressive start today.
Could these five keep the peddle
to the metal in the Second Quarter?
Jacob is the designated
inbound passer for the Orange
Defense
Another Orange fast break
When one inbounds . . .
. . . one must do it with flair
Jacob easily found another open
man on this inbounds play
Free Throws are a great time
to catch your breath
Crashing the boards
Jacob also is the designated
inbounds pass defender
Cut off that passing lane
The Orange Defense was tough today
challenging every Boilermakers shot
Look who showed up to the game!
Why it was none other than Annia, on the left, and her friend Elsia. It was strange to see them by themselves without their good friend Mary.
There's Mary, the gangs all here!
A flashier inbounds pass
Defense by all of the Orange
The Half ended with this inbounds
pass with maximum flair
The Orange was a force so far today.
At the Half
Orange 31
Boilermakers 10
DOUBLE WOW!!
Could the Orange sustain this level of shooting and defensive excellence for yet another quarter?
Another chance at a rebound
Trying to find the open man
One-on-One Defense
Fighting for a loose ball
Jacob truly likes to mix it
up on the hardwoods
Start of yet another Orange fast break
Driving to the bucket
Getting back on Defense
The Orange defending well again
These two hooligans were thrown into
the CYBA jail for rowdy behavior
I was proud of Jacob's hustle
and effort today
Launching up another shot
Eventually, one of Jacob's shots is going to wind up in the basket.
Hustling after another loose ball
The McDonald's Unicorn Ice Cream
Squishy may have had a small file
in it for a possible prison break
End of the Third Quarter
Orange 45
Boilermakers 12
With the game well in hand, the Orange slowed down the pace considerably in the Fourth Quarter.
Jacob working to get open
Another loose ball but in a
definitely unusual spot . . .
. . . but Jacob still got it
Turn and . . .
. . . FIRE!
The Prison Gang was going WILD!
Jacob would finally get to leave the game for the first time with five minutes left in the contest.
WONDERFUL effort today young man!
Final Score
Orange (1-1) 50
Boilermakers (1-1) 24
What a great day to be an Orange!
