It was a great weekend for the Germantown Heat Boys basketball teams in Richmond, Va. Coach Whitsett’s 8th grade team played the James River Blaze the first game and was on fire! We were making great ball movement and showing James River that we are the HEAT! We won that game 59-36. Our second game was against the Virginia Beach Elite, the game started late and so did our boys. Our first half was a little rough, it was a close game, Coach Whitsett received a technical foul yelling at the refs, but we pulled through. The boys said they wanted to win and that they did! We defeated the Elite 39-37. Our Third game was against the Fredericksburg Heat. It was an 8am game on Sunday and we started off sleepy, but 15 minutes into the game we woke up and began showing Fredericksburg that WE ARE THE HEAT! Our boys found their energy and begin shooting from all over, driving to the basket and making some great shots. We defeated the Fredericksburg Heat 51-34, and we are off to bracket play. This was our worst game for the weekend, too much time in between games this game was at 4pm and was also late. The boys just could not push though this one and we were defeated by the Virginia Venom.

Second half we continued to put on the pressure and before you knew it we destroyed their confidence and won the game by 40 points.
Game 4 Sunday championship game against the So. County Steelers. The Steelers were looking real confident after beating us by 30 points on Saturday. First half we see sawed back and forth and by the half we were down by two 17-19. Second half we went to work with our man to man defense pressuring them into turnovers and missed shots we started to get them frustrated. However the game was still close see sawing back and forth again. Half way through the second half Landon Terry started exploding to the hoop for layups and Adrian Thomas knocked down three 3 point shots in a row at a crucial point of the game and we were up by 7 with 3 minutes to go. Brandon Booker entered the game and played excellent defense on their #1 point guard and had him frustrated to point he committed a technical foul. We maintained our composure and went on to win the game by 4. Great job by all Heat players I'm proud of your hustle, determination and composure!
