In close and exciting games all around, the 7th Grade Boys Black came back from a 20 point deficit only to lose to the Oakland Rams by 1 point in the 4th quarter. This was after they beat Ohtani in the first game and a successfull turnaround win against BVUMC. It was still a close and heart pumping game.
As expected, Matty's 8th Grade Girls team took Championship in their division. Matty was a bit under the weather but in true Matty-style, he was on the bench supporting and coaching the girls.
The 8th Grade Boys Black also took the Championship trophy home after victories over San Jose CYS C-2, Stockton Shoguns and finally Diablo C-2. While the first game was a challenge, the boys must have gotten used to the Sacramento air because as the Stockton coach commented to Coach Chester Huie, "don't your boys ever get tired?" Maybe they were looking forward to their first teen social that evening...hmmm
Congratulations to all the teams and a great tournament result.
