Basketball is a game of moments.  Every moment is different.   Every moment produces different results. 

In the Women's game, the Lady Broncos matched the Red Hawks in the initial two quarters.   The Bronx CC team scored from the paint and on effective fast breaks.

But in the last two quarters, the Lady Broncos effort came short to win the game.  The team allowed 26 points in the last quarter after limiting the Red Hawks to 14 point in each of the previous 3 quarters.
 
The Bronx CC defense was unable to stop the LaGuardia CC offense and their guards play.  The ball control aspects of the game - rebounds, steals and blocks shots were in short supply.  On offense, the Lady Broncos had turnovers and missed shots at crucial times.  

Angel Mbamalu, Thalia Rodriguez and Julia Hohn had good all-around games.   

In this game, the Lady Broncos made 9 out of 11 Free Throws attempted.


 

 

The Men's game was close throughout with several lead changes.  The Broncos offense shot below its standards.  At the Free Throw line the team made 15 out of 30 attempts.  The Red Hawks made 25 out of 33 Free Throws attempted. 

Making shots from the free throw line was the difference in the game.

The leading scorers for the Broncos were Romello Rashad (21 points), Jatton Pierce-Bias (16 points) and Jonathan Frazier (12 points)

Bronx CC teams play consistent basketball games with energy and improving skills. The lesson learned in a loss will be corrected immediately.

Broncos teams learn and continue to play better to achieve excellence.
