Robpride, Congratulations on your finish at Nationals, its good to see KGC is still at the top of their game. We weren't there this year, but hopefully we'll be there next year competing and supporting. It looks like the MD Crusaders team was the surprise of the tournament; I'd imagine that being from Potomac Valley they were very athletic. Your team had a GREAT run at the National title and represented Tennessee extremely well, your players, coaches and parents should be very proud. Sorry to hear about Coach Capps' mother, tell him our prayers are with him and his family as they go through life’s journey. We (Memphis GLORY) stress the same fundamental aspect with our new teams; if you only pick up a bball at team practice then your development will not be there. 75% of your development comes from what players do to improve themselves outside of normal practice, specifically as the competition level and age goes up. CONGRATULATIONS, from the Memphis GLORY thumb

From your location all of the game sites, except Waynesville and maybe Payne Rec., are within 45 minutes. Each of the game sites are regulation HS hardwood courts, the aux gym at Beavercreek HS may not have the largest seating area for parents but all of the main gyms are typical large HS facilities. If you happen to play at Payne Rec. and don’t have a game afterwards take your bathing suits, the gym is located at a water park. Well you know the underdog can and will always have its day!! My teams been in the same situation with a rebuilding year. AAU Nationals is a great experience, hopefully next year with few new players, returning players from previous years and our current core group we’ll be there next year. Keep’em working hard.….momentum can have a great affect on a team. thumb

It’s good to see so many teams from Tennessee attending the 13U Nationals. Dayton is my home town. The DLH program does a really nice job with the tournament; they hosted the 2003 13U Nationals also. All of gyms are excellent facilities, with the Kettering Rec. Center being the lesser of all; it's about like Ridgeway Baptist with a split curtain between the courts. A few of the game sites are somewhat spread out but they are fairly central, 10-25 miles, to the Nutter Center/Arena (Wright State Univ.). Try to visit the USAF museum, it’s an aviation buffs dream. Where will your team be staying? Several of the areas south, east and north of the greater Dayton and Fairborn areas are very nice, similar to Collierville and Cordova areas. There's two large malls/shopping areas, Dayton Mall and Fairfield Commons Mall with all types of restaurants and cuisines. The weather this time of year is about like Memphis, hot and humid, I hope your team(s) enjoy their stay in the Dayton area, good luck in the tournament. Tom Jackson Memphis GLORY AAU

Greenfieldfan, Can you contact/email me? tjac768880@aol.com. Thanks, Tom Jackson Memphis GLORY

Thanks for the information. . .

Does anyone have or know a name and number for the CD that will be running the 12U and 13U State tournament this weekend. Any contact names or numbers with the Motlow Sports Club?

hey robpride, I know what you mean, this year’s state tournament should be a good one. We've gotten off to a slow start this year but hopefully we'll be ready by state. ptguard does do a good analysis of the teams. I haven't seen the TOP GUNs this year but they've always been in the thick of things, consistently getting better. The anticipation is buliding, should be fun though. Good luck to all the teams and LET's PLAY BALL ! ! ! thumb
