Championship Weekend (5/5-5/6)
Three WINS For Life AAU teams advance to Championship games!
Another successful weekend for the WINS For Life Boy's AAU Basketball program!
All four teams (11u, 12u, 13u, 15u) competed in the Rally at the Valley tournament (at VSC).
The over-all WINS For Life record was 11-4. Three teams advanced to Championship Games!
The 15u, 13u and 12u WINS For Life teams each go undefeated in pool play at 3-0!
The 15u team defended well all weekend with consistent toughness and energized competitive spirit.
In the face of adversity and armed with determination they demonstrated mental strength in the Championship game against a superior sized opponent. The 15u team has improved substantially. The 13u team won their championship game 55-42. Eight players hit the scoring column and twelve players made positive playing time contributions in the Final. Defense and TEAM Effort led to the 4-0 "break-out weekend" with all 16 players contributing. The 12u team impressively stormed back from a 10-point deficit in the Final to take a one point lead with 18-seconds left. This very exciting game ended with a buzzer-beating jump shot and a tough one-point Championship loss. The path to the 12u Championship game featured two comfortable victories and an outstanding double-OT win. The 11U team has won games in every 2012 tournament and was 3-1 in Springfield. The 2011 WINS For Life 11u-team won the
CT. Boy's AAU State Championship and competed in the National Tournament in Virginia.
