Catalyst, thanks for the comments. You are correct in that we should have been playing a tougher season and after the first tournament, we sure wish we had. I know it sounds like I am trying to toot my own horn, but really I just want the girls to get the recognition they deserve. They have played and won against teams like WolfPack, Lasers Orange, Valley Extreme, Pitts Spirit, Finesse (Both Black and Blue), McMadness, Thunder Elite, Wizzards Elite... I take full responsibility for not getting them into tougher competition. When I layed out our schedule in the Fall/early spring, I had no idea what to expect from our team let alone from the tournaments we were entering. Winning tournaments is pretty new for me, so we always went with what we knew from past experiences. We are already talking about next years schedule and plans for the girls.
Compuware, even though it is not what is was before, it still was a tough tournament for these girls. Cinderella Classic, yes not as much competition as we would like, we even asked to play up at the 16s and were not allowed. Not sure where you would rank the Akron Slam tournament but we did eliminate some very quality teams. Having played the Wolfpack 2xs in the fall, we lost in pool play but won when it counted on Sunday and even sent them to the consi bracket in Compuware, just hoped our girls would be considered.
(Wolfpack, please do not take that comment as a slam, you guys are a very tough team and deserve all the props you have)
Again Cat, right on the money, some of our tournament wins were with less competition than other tournaments and thank you for the kind words about our girls. They play hard and are such a great group of girls!!!
. We know where this is going.
