Recap - Last Week - Plans - This Week

The Mighty Ninth Grade PRIME Team, Champions - GA Tar Heels' Young Guns, May 18-20, 2012. This is their fifth trophy for the season.

The Mighty Eleventh Grade PLATINUM Team (Coach Foster) in their first tournament of the season earned 2d Place at the GA Tar Heels' Young Guns tournament.

See It Through. A couple of Atlanta Select teams that live by our official poem. The Mighty Seventh Grade SILVER and Sixth Grade SILVER teams had been playing YBOA all season. Both teams had problems making it to Sundays and the playoffs or the championship rounds. They were beginning to feel that they were being placed in the most competitive pools and destine to lose.

However, what does not destroy you make you stronger.

The Mighty Seventh Grade SILVER team finished in second place out of 34 team competing for the State championship and the Sixth Grade SILVER finished fourth out of 25.

Both team qualified for the National YBOA tournament. Enough said about Seeing it Through.

Coaches Walker, Mason and Burton traveled to Clemson, SC last weekend for the "Big Shots" Clemson tour. This is the second time this season that they have been in Clemson and played at Clemson University. They have all won games and above all offered their teams EXPOSURE. Additionally, they teams have bonded and are having a great time. Congratulations to the Mighty Tenth Grade RED, Eleventh Grade RED and Eleventh Grade BLACK teams.

Coach McCrae and Coach McCadney continue to lead the Mighty Eighth Grade Lady Select RED in the most difficult tournaments. And again, they win. Last weekend they earned their fourth trophy of the season.

What a way to go ladies!

Parents and players enjoying the weekend.

Two teams that have been idle for awhile will be back in the mix this weekend. The Mighty Eleventh Grade PRIME (Coach Johnson) will be playing in the NASBA State Championship and the the Mighty Ninth Grade GRAND (Coach White) will be traveling to Florida for the Pensacola South East Jam. Good luck to both teams.
