Meet the Team:

Game time and last minute instructions from Coach.
First game drew a big crowd - we were playing against the defending Champs 3 years in a row and the Sheridan High School Varsity Coach, Assistant Coach and Women's Head Coach's sons.
Talk about being N-E-R-V-O-U-S! (me, that is - the kids were just excited)
This was their first tournament. Up to this moment they'd only ever observed a Three-on-Three competition.
I didn't even know they could dribble, much less shoot the ball or play defense. (joking of course - Kelley had them running plays!)
They won their first game - just in time for a torrential downpour. Luckily we'd set up camp beneath the pharmacy awning. We crammed under there like a bunch of sardines.
We stayed mostly dry - only the smart ones thought to bring rain gear.
Finally the rain blew over and the boys started warming up again.
.....now back to ballin'.
They went undefeated the whole tournament.
Your Champs: Team Reeborn and the Rockettes!!
Our Lil' Mascot, although excited for the win was extremely upset to not get a trophy too.
But the good people running ThornDunker realized the error of their ways and quickly produced a trophy to make one happy little boy!
Finally, it's over so Stinka-Man can go put up some shots!
We all had a great time. The torch has officially been passed to the next generation of ballers. Of course that doesn't mean that the torch has been extinquished in the older generation............and NO, I'm not calling anyone OLD!!
