NAYS Dubuque 2010 Tournament Champs!

Congratulations Team!!!

Wow! How exciting was that!!! What a great way to start off our 2010 AAU season. I'm so proud of the grit and determination in which we played with this past weekend. This group came to Win and the tone was set right away. I received so many great compliments from other Coaches, Officials and Parents. The universal observation was how "Tough" we were mentally and physically.

Championship Game - What a battle! This is why we play the game, to have opportunities like this! The adversity down to the closing seconds speaks volumes of their desire to compete at a high level. We made the plays we had to and at the most critical times. My hat goes off to both Teams, composure displayed on both sides and not wanting to accept defeat will make this game one to remember.

I witnessed a group of girls this weekend that really wanted to compete. The attitude was Positive and Outstanding. Given the limited amount of practice time thus far, I'm very pleased with how we performed.

The momentum we generated this weekend will only help prepare us even more for our next Tournament. The competition will continue to get tougher as we go along this Spring/Summer.

Our practice dedication and preparation will be vital in order to continue to achieve results like we had this weekend. "To Finish First; you've got to Run like your in Second"
