The Mighty Atlanta Select 13u/7th Grade SCHOLARS

Capturing their first championship of the season was not an easy task, but if it was easy everybody would be champs. 
The Mighty SCHOLARS systemically prepared for the season by training hard and not entering tournaments until they were ready. 
I guess they are ready.

Congratulations to Coaches Lawson and Malone for preparing these Scholars to be basketball championships.

The Mighty Atlanta Select 9u/3d Grade SOUTHSIDE

Head Coach Jackson said he had to tell me a story behind this picture. The team captured second place in the Tournament R Us Grand Old Southern Shootout tournament.

Coaches have commitments other than coaching, thus during the tournament last weekend Coach Jackson had to be away for several games. 
Well Synergy took place. 
Coach Shaka Harris of the Mighty 11u SILVER team and Coach Baskerville of the Mighty 9u SYNERGY Select team filled in and coached several games. 
They all stood by as the Mighty SOUTHSIDE received their honors.

Our youngest ladies let it be known that they are a force to be reckon with. Why?

They are champions!!!

Kudos to Coach "DOVE" and his cadre for Bringing in hardware in every tournament in which they play.

As Always, Just Go Lady Select!!!

Head Coach Tony Burton, Mighty 16u/10th Grade 
Atlanta Select RED

Coach Tony wanted to play in the 
16u NCAA Certified On The Radar Sweet 16 Session II in the 16u field. 
Sorry, that group was filled. 
He could have said "Let me find another tournament or we will not play this weekend." 
No, 
he said "I want to play up in the 17u bracket because my boys must be seen during this NCAA Certified period. 
And thus, his team played 17u and was 2 - 2 in the tournament playing against some of the strongest teams in the bracket. 
He lead his team to a top 4 finisher in the ACC 17u bracket.

Adding a couple of players from the 17u SILVER team, the team made a statement in front of numerous coaches coaches and scouts. 
Take a look at some of the accolades and comments made.



Kudos to Coach Tony. That's is what it is all about. Give the boys EXPOSURE.
