June 25th - 26th tournament results:
What a great weekend of basketball for Team Ichiban basketball Club! The 14u girls took 1st place in the 8th grade division avenging several losses to teams that had beaten them early in the year by 15 or more pts. They won every game by at least 15pts. The amazing thing with these young ladies is that they have played up all year and represented themselves very well. The team competed this weekend with 3 8th graders and 4 7th graders. Coach Taylor & Coach Mays have done a great job with these young ladies.
The surprise for the program was the Ichiban Elite girls team that lost a tough game in the semi-finals to G-Force by 1pt. The team came back in the 3rd place game and played with vengeance to earn the victory. I am very proud of the way these young ladies have regrouped after dealing with some adversity off the court. Everyone of the players stepped up and played some of the best basketball that they have all season.
The 16u boys team lost in the finals to Oklahoma Spirit which we had beaten early in the event. I am very proud of the this team! So far this season they have been in the Championship game of every event that they have participated (Winning 3 and finishing 2nd twice). This has been done with 1 senior and 10 sophomores. We have only 2 players on the team taller then 6ft. Team plays tough hard nosed defense.
The 15u boys team went 2-2 this weekend playing some of it's best basketball of the season. The team played short handed this weekend with 2 of its starters being out and others stepped in and did a great job. This team continues to get better every weekend.
7th grade boys team went 1-3 and did very well. The team was in every game coming down the stretch losing a couple of close ones to teams that had beaten them earlier in the summer by as much as 30pts. This team continues to improve every time that they step on the court. The teams win this weekend was against a team that they had lost to in a previous game.
5th grade boys did very well this weekend as well even though they did not win a game. The boys battled and continued to play hard with only 6 players.
I want to give a special thanks to Mike O'Donnell and Joe Drobnich for stepping in to coach a couple of games with the 7th grade and 8th grade team do to game conflicts for Coach Watts.

NOTHING LIKE PRAYER AFTER A HARD FOUGHT GAME TO KEEP THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE!
After each game we invite the other team to meet at center court for prayer (win or lose).
