Five Atlanta Select Teams played in the Eric Snow "Rule the Air Classic" this Easter Weekend and four earned trophies. Eighty percent is not bad. Possibly it could have been 100% but brother team eliminated brother team in a semi finals. The highlight was the Mighty Tenth Grade Boys White Team defeating the Atlanta Celtics. The overtime win was grand.
In the Eleventh Grade Division The Mighty Boys PLATINUM Team was declared Champs over the Mighty Boys RED Team, only because the PLATINUM defeated the RED Team in Pool Play. Both teams were in the finals but elected not to play each other for that final decision at this time. Both teams joined in the celebration because they defeated everybody else in the 17u age division. Congratulation to both team for demonstrating a class act.
Our Mighty Sixth Grade Boys RED Team earned second place in their championship game. This team is the the most improved in the the last few weeks. Congratulations to the coaching staff for their hard work and congratulations to the team for earning their first trophy.
The Mighty Ninth Grade Boys RED Team had to the play the Mighty Tenth Grade Boys WHITE Team in the combined 15u/16u division semi-finals. They made a very positive impression and deserved to be recognized as Atlanta Select Champions. They did not receive a trophy this weekend but they are truly champions. They are pictured below with the Tenth Grade Team.
Finally, Kudos to The Mighty Eighth Grade Boys PRIME Team.. They won the championship in the NAYBA tournament this weekend.
This is another new Atlanta Select team that is making improvement week by week, and in this case, game by game. After losing their first game in the tournament they gathered themselves and won all the others. What a way to go. Congratulations again.
Enough Said. Go Select. What a Weekend.
Happy Easter!
