Upward Stars Basketball: Expecting 500 athletes at Tryouts!


Recommended Posts

MEMO:  Upward Stars Basketball (SPRING TRAVEL/TOURNAMENT TEAMS - TRYOUT REGISTRATION IS OPEN!)

 

Upward Stars is blessed and excited to enter our fourth season of forming teams for the spring/early summer tournament circuit!  After forming 25 teams this past spring (19 in Williamson County; 6 in NORTH Nashville), Upward Stars plans on forming 30-32 teams for spring, 2017.  Current plans include forming 20-22 teams based in Williamson County and 10 teams based in NORTH Nashville (Hendersonville, Goodlettsville, Gallatin, Madison, and surrounding communities)!  

 

We are very excited about the structure for teams this spring!  Teams will practice twice a week through the week of April 17th.  Beginning the week of April 24th, each team will practice once a week and also attend a shooting/skills' clinic weekly.  During the week of spring break, we will also be hosting shooting/skills' clinics for those athletes that are in town.  Therefore, athletes will be on the court twice a week (March-May), in addition to tournament play.  Some of our Premier Teams will play into July, specifically a few of our high school teams that will be participating in NCAA "Live Period" events.

    • The only thing that was said at half time of the 45-0 game was Coach Story, he said: "I know y'all have been out there a lot, but kick-off team, y'all need to get down there faster!" Then he and the other coaches proceeded to go into the coaches office and we all went nuts!  It was the only time I can ever remember coaches not saying anything at half time. Definitely a great memory!!!
    • Boyd could actually be a grade below what he is now, but his parents didn't see the need to "redshirt" him like the other city school down the road would have pushed for....
    • too busy with flag football
    • Who invited the First Family of Hartsville? 
    • When Danny was a senior he was the quarterback on the 82 team and also the placeholder on extra points. At the end of the game Heritage scored a touchdown with very little time left and went ahead 9-0. On the following extra point Danny rose up and threw a perfect pass to one of his receivers which made it 11-0 and Heritage's first win against Maryville since the series started in 77. Maryville fans were highly ticked off because they felt like it was rubbing salt in the wound. The following year when both teams met again at Maryville  the Rebels ran away with the game and after the first couple of touchdowns they went for two points after each score for a pay back and the score was 45-0 at halftime. The following Monday Bob Gilbert the sports eiditor for the local paper bashed Maryville in an article called the Humilation of Teenagers and tore into Maryville even though he was a graduate of the school. Those were the good ole days when Heritage had decent teams and the rivalry between them and Maryville was a fun event to see.
