The Innovative Staffing Solutions first and second grade boys basketball team eeked out a hard fought victory over Matt Romack Construction, winning 22-20. The victory was Innovative's second of the season, putting their mark at 2-0.
Donovan Ferguson scored 12 points for Innovative on 6 for 13 shooting from the field (0 for 2 beyond the arc). He had 5 steals and 9 rebounds while committing only 2 turnovers. Donovan had 2 blocked shots while also getting his firsts 2 assists of the season.
Donovan was held scoreless in the first half, but he exploded for all of his points in the second half as he drove towards the hoop instead of shooting from the outside.
Isaac Ray, Donovan's cousin, had 2 rebounds and 1 blocked shot. He was 0 for 1 shooting from the field.
Innovative's defense was not up to par this week as they gave up many easy shots as well as several second and third chance baskets as they failed time and time again to box out on the boards. They did a little better with their positioning at the start of the second half, but down the stretch they began getting out-rebounded which almost cost them the game. Additionally, they missed several lay-ups that could have given them a much bigger cushion, so this week's practice will be devoted to rebounding and lay-ups.
