Emerging Stars

On Sunday, the Knights looked to recover from their loss at San Cristobal with a game against a team from Colonial San Antiono, a neighborhood in Xela (the Barry Farms of Xela).

The Knights young guns clearly had recovered from their lackluster play and hot dog with cabbage coma on Saturday because they quickly went up 12 to 0. San Antonio started off the game 0 for 6 from the foul line courtesy of some questionable calls from the refs (Bryan, Stan and Ernest).

Under the vocal coaching style of Sam, several stars emerged during the game. Jordyn proved that she could give as good as she got as she was repeatedly fouled by the SA henchmen and never once backed down. Kendra had a breakout game from the outside post knocking down four quick buckets. Johari, Trell, Bibi and Jerren played lock down defense that turned into several unanswered fast break buckets.

Of the emerging stars, two stood out brighter than the others in a classic blue collar vs. superstar show down.

The superstar, Brandon, quickly became a fan favorite of the 12 and under female San Antonio fans. The San Antonio fans were so enamoured with Brandon and his boyish good looks that they learned English on the spot in order to scream out You can do it 13. In a series of half time photos that would impress even former boy bander Justin Timberlake, Brandon solidified his status as the Joaquim Noah of the Hoops Sagrado Knights. Oh and by the way, he played really well too.

The working class hero of the game and team favorite was Jonathan. Jonathan, who had not really seemed all that interested in playing decided that Sunday was his day to prove what a fraud he is because he dusted off the 00 uniform and came in off the bench and immediately scored on put back bucket that produced a grin big enough to be seen in Washington. He followed that up with two more buckets and six rebounds and a block. Not bad for a guy who had been practicing his magic tricks more than his jump shots. Look out Suchi.

Final score 99 to 81.
