Sample:

Grade 4

Newtown Hawks 28, Newtown B 22: The Hawks were led by Mike Smith with 12 points and Sam Smith with 8 points. Greg Smith played well defensively had had several assists, and Jon Smith came up with three steals. The Newtown B team was led by the scoring of Owen Johnson, Mike Johnson, and Ted Johnson.

Feel free to add a limited amount of play by play - sentence or two highlighting a key stretch in a game (example - The Hawks trailed 10-8 but went on a 9-0 run as Mike Smith hit a 3-pointer and scored on a fast-break to lead the charge).
