Twenty six teams participated in tournaments, with 16 teams in one major USSSA Super Regional, six in Bob Gibbons, one in YBOA Super Regional in Alabama, two in the AAU Girls District/State championship and one in a local regional tournament. The teams earned 10 trophies, eight championships and two runner-up.

All we can say, :Just Go Select!!! Now let's review who and what made history.

This weekend the The Lady Select Black Future & Black Diamond  won the 3rd Grade
AAU STATE Division I & Division II . Earning two bids to AAU Nationals. 
The MVP, Camille Files, a 2nd grader who was just a baby when her big sister would go to
battle against the Mighty GA Pistols, but would come up short. 
We continue to finish 2nd. 
It has been 10 years that Coach Dove has been trying to beat this organization.
His babies, which consist of 4 1st graders, 5 2nd graders 7 3rd graders, got the
job done twice.
Congratulations to Head Coach Mandeldove, his CADRE and the Mighty ladies for making "History". Just Go Select!!!

Atlanta Select at King James' Southern Exposure


Atlanta Select was represented at the King James Southern Exposure by the Mighty 14U and 13U COLLEGE Bound teams.

The teams were accompanied by many of the mothers and fathers of the players.


The 13U team participated in their first major Exposure tournament and did not fare very well but gained the knowledge that to really compete they must take there game to the next higher level.
However, the 14U group, with a little more experience, was very successful in pool play by going undefeated.

Extremely noteworthy was their defeat of the King James Ohio Varsity team 58 - 53.

They lost in the Elite Eight but had a very successful tournament going 3 - 1. With the Atlanta Select criteria for Exposure tournaments, winning at least 3 games merit trophy recognition. Congratulation to the COLLEGE Bound teams for their representation and success at 
King James Southern Exposure.

Have a Safe Trip Home.

Just Go Select!!!
