It was a fun game to watch. Both teams are in good condition and were racing up and down the court. Each team also had stellar defense. What put JSerra on top for the win was that they are better at finishing. Narbonne still needs to work on shooting and free throws. If they fixed those two things, they'd be a deep state playoff team again.
I met another reader of this blog in a JSerra fan, and again, it was a pleasure. He made an interesting comment that "we can't get games like this" in Orange Country. I asked him what he meant and he said LA teams are more athletic and quick than OC teams. I asked why again and he said kids out there tend to spend more time on their homework than basketball practice, whereas city kids tend to "play all night." He also said the people sitting courtside wasn't heard of in OC either, because fans sit in the stands and bitch at the coaches.
Very interesting.
Narbonne Junior Tailer Butler, #3 in white, swings the ball while JSerra clamps down on defense.
Narbonne's Jamesha Chapman, #20, puts up a shot.
Tailer Butler is extremely talented and insanely athletic, and is One To Watch for the class of 2011.
Long Beach Poly, in green, was Narbonne's next opponent on their back-to-back game schedule.

Sounds like you were talking to a coach - interesting as some of the top talent in the nation are in the OC right now!
Per HG Cassie Harberts to ASU great to have another cali girl stay on the wet coast.
Definitely some of the top talent is in OC right now. This man's point was that the style of play behind the Orange curtain is different than that of the city teams. He's correct.
I'm glad Cassie Harberts didn't pick USC, but she should have gone with UCLA. Good luck to her anyway.
Sue I love you man

Remember what I said earlier.
