Another exciting weekend with Select Nation teams playing in tournaments throughout the Greater Atlanta Metro area. The teams earned 10 trophies to include the Runner - up trophy in the AAU District/State tournament. The Mighty Atlanta Select 17u PRO team with Head Coach Gary Glenn can say for this year 2015, that they are Number 2 in the Georgia AAU State ranking. They defeated many of the top teams in the state losing only to Team Georgia Elite in the finals. Kudos to the mighty Atlanta Select 17u PRO.
Adding to the "Trophy Count" and earning their first trophy for the season was the Mighty Atlanta Select 13u READY, used to be called RED, with Head Coach Chase Hines. They were 4 -1 in tournament play finishing second in the championship game at a Georgia Tar Heels tournament. Congratulations to the Mighty READY team.
Brothers played brother in the championship game at the Hardwood Classic. The Mighty Atlanta Select 16u SILVER played the Mighty Atlanta Select BLACK in the championship game with the SILVER coming in first. These two teams practice together and play in the same tournaments. Sooner or later they would find themselves beating everyone else and advancing to the championship game. Congratulations to Coach Jaybee Brown (substituting for coach Tony Hill and Coach Elliot Hill for leading these two teams to the championship game.
The Mighty Atlanta Select 9u SYNERGY Select earned third place at the YBOA State Championship. Sporting their new uniforms the team has now earned bids to the YBOA and AAU nationals. Kudos to Coaches G and Baskerville for guiding this mighty team.
The Mighty Atlanta Select 16u RED Elite with Head Coach Odell Ferrel is winning championships every weekend. They are preparing for their trip to Kentucky and want to be on a winning streak. This weekend they will be playing Big Shots and hope to add again to the "Trophy Count".
The Mighty Atlanta 13u SILVER with Head Coach Brian Frazier has won their second YBOA trophy in a row. This team is Confident, Aggressive, Relentless and plays with a lot of SYNERGY. They are rapidly advancing in the "Trophy Count".
The COLLEGE Bound Teams, 14u and 13u added to the count. Coach Johnson and his 14u team and Coach Woods with his 13u team are solid winners, proving to all that they can compete on the highest levels. Both team did exceeding well in the Georgia Knockout tournament this weekend.
Earning the 10th trophy of the weekend was the Mighty 17u BLACK with Coach Mark Gates. No picture yet, but they have the reputation as winners. They proved it again in this week's Primetime Sports tournament.

We salute all the other teams that played their hearts out this weekend. Coach Lawson and his Mighty Atlanta Select 12u RED team were 3 -1 in tournament play but not allowed to advance to the finals even going 3 -0 in pool play. Scheduling and format layout is questionable at this Phillip Haynes tournament. This will be a top of discussion before our teams play again in his tournaments.
The Mighty Atlanta Select newest 17u team, Team FIRE, under the leadership of Head Coach Michael Leach, made their debut this weekend. With only six players they held their own in a USBA tournament. Kudos to this Mighty new team.
Coach Hall and his Mighty 14u PRIME played in the USBA tournament and played well. Coach Keown and Coach Elston and their Mighty 11u BLACK 2022 played up at the Georgia Cup and held their own.
Coach Harris and his Mighty 10u RED are working hard and gaining in experience.
Congrats to Coach JayBee Brown for earning his degree from Kennesaw State last week.
Coach Brown is demonstrating to all that Education comes first.
I learned this morning of the passing over the weekend of another former Atlanta Select coach, head coach Antonio Hill (No relationship to Coach Tony Hill). He coached some of our highly successful teams during the 200 8 - 20011 period. Our condolence goes out to both Coach Hill's and Coach Morris families. May they both Rest In Peace.
Take Care and have a great week.
