Blueberries too Much for Flames

By Dylan

Cooper and Andrew carried the Blueberries to a comfortable win against the Flames Tuesday at Burbank Elementary in Belmont.

Cooper had 20 points, 20 rebounds and five steals, leading the Blueberries with a ton of help from Andrew, who had 17 points, 17 rebounds and two steals. Both players finished the game with monster double-doubles, helping their team win 45-12.

Cooper discussed shooting after the game.

"When I'm shooting, I always look at the basket. I always think about making it in, not banking it," Cooper said." I think it's a lot easier to make it in without a bank shot. Also, I practice a lot."

The person Andrew was defending didn't get a hold of the ball very much, but he kept his defense to the side and played hard on offense on his way to a great game.

"I thought that my defense was pretty good but the person I was guarding didn't really get the ball much so it didn't really pay off," Andrew said. "I thought it was my offense that was effective."

After the game, the Flames' Kayson said he didn't play up to his expectations, and took some blame for the loss.

"I don't think I was that persistent," Kayson said. "I'd like to take a lot of shots back that I took... I'm going to pass more. In that game I took a lot of bad shots.
