I am very proud of the way my 12 and under team played this past Saturday (May 4) winning 34 to 17 at Muni Gym.  You ladies played together as a team the entire game.  Amanda, Devin and Kristina played excellent help defense on the perimeter, keeping those 11 - 13 year old boys from getting to the basket most of the game.  The few times they made it to the basket, they had to face Annie ... I counted four blocked shots by Annie!  Ali and Adelle were the best cheerleaders we've ever had but were chomping at the bit to join you.  Let's hope their injuries heal quickly. 

Teresa, thanks for playing three different positions for us on the court.  Kristina, isn't it fun to drive right past defenders with your new and improved crossover dribble?  Denise, the moment that three-pointer left your hand, I knew it was good.  Thanks again to our backup players, S. Mouritzen and Jessie.  

There is more I could say but I'll tell you at our next practice.  Our team is getting better and better each week.  See you on Thursday.

Coach Allen

April 10, 2002
Congratulations are due to Coach Allen's 12u team for their great performance during their scrimmage game last Sunday against the Lady Bulls.  Their hustle and aggressive play allowed them to dominate both ends of the court.  Small forward, Amanda Roberts shot the lights out...keep shooting Amanda!  And Ali Pia was unstoppable in the post grabbing many offensive and defensive rebounds.  The entire team played with intensity and really stepped it up.  Way to go ladies!
