Posted May 22/11 - RUN drops first contest to Detroit...
Welcome to the WBCBL...
In the first game of our inagural WBCBL season, the Oakland-Macomb RUN dropped a tough-fought contest to the Detroit Lady Black Hawks: 63-78.
The RUN came out of the gates looking like anything but the "new kids on the block"; leading 17-9 after the first quarter. But the contest soon took on the flavor of a hardwood battle, with Detroit holding a 6-point lead at half.
The second half saw the Black Hawks exert some dominance on the boards, with a number of second-chance points, and putbacks. The final score is a direct reflection of this -- and something the RUN will be working to improve as the season progresses.
All-told, a respectable showing for the first time out -- but "respectable showings" are not what we're in this league for. We'll get better, and we'll do better.
