44 and Counting, Another Great Weekend.

Atlanta Select teams added at least four trophies to the count this weekend. Winning their first trophy of the season was the Mighty Tenth Grade Boys PLATINUM team coached by Coach La'Teef Pyles. His Hoopz City players took the Runner Up trophy in the Eric Snow Mother's Day Weekend tournament.
Coach LaTeef received the brotherly support from the Mighty Eighth Grade Boys PLATINUM team, coached by his brother, Tahir Pyles. Even though the Eighth Grade team did not win a trophy themselves, they shared in the celebration with their big brothers.

Making history as the first Atlanta Select team to win a trophy at the Wallace Prather Memorial Classic was the Mighty Eighth Grade Boys Team BLACK 8732, coached by G Stewart. His assistant, Coach Harris, guided the team in pool play as Coach G was away on assignment. The team finished as Runner Up in the Eighth Grade division, destroying all other Atlanta local teams. Over the years Coach G's team has earned a trophy in every showcased tournament that they have participated. The core group of loyal players have been with him for 6 years and have proven that they are a force to be dealt with.
Additional trophies were earned by the ladies this weekend as the Fifth Grade Ladies Select BLACK, coached by Coach Jackson, finished fourth in the AAU State tournament and earned a bid and a major seed to the AAU Nationals. This team has earned a trophy in every tournament they played this year. The count now is 4.

Coach Vincent and the Mighty Tenth Grade DIAMOND team traveled to Nashville, TN this weekend to fill in for an Atlanta Select team that could not make the trip after payment. They earned a second placed trophy in the Corey Brewer tournament. I think they are glad that they made the trip.

Whether it's an Eric Snow, Corey Brewer or Wallace Prather tournament, we can hold our own. Ccongratulations to all the teams that played hard this Mother's Day weekend. We thank you for all that you do. Go Select.
