The Reading Red Knights captured the Reading Holiday tournament championship with a thrashing at the hands of the Blue Jays from Holy Name. Here are my thoughts on the win:
- This was probably the best effort we have seen from this team since the Chester win. It will be interesting to see how we handle ourselves going into the next game. The one thing that has come really clear is that this team plays it's best when it feels threatened.
- Kudos to Coach Redding for showing some fire in a timeout when we were down and it really had an impact as our intensity level raised immediately. Also, I thought he had a brilliant strategy of making the game a full court game tonight and seeing that Holy Name would wear down with playing such a short bench plus also playing on back to back nights.
- Marcus Dawkins was clearly the best player on the court tonight and really had s solid all around game with 21 points 12 boards and 7 assists.
- Trenity Burdine also had a nice game with 19 points, but more importantly he got some of his offense in the paint and really attacked the basket. When Burdine and Dawkins come to play Reading is a very dangerous team.
- I was really impressed with Marco Laureano tonight as he played some solid defense and chipped in with some nice play on the offense side of the ball as well.
