It's 2009, and the boys are back in the gym again. We have a few new additions to add to our PowerHouse family, and things are looking GREAT for this team. Coach Glenn and Coach Sean have a lot of passion for these kids and their success, both on and off the court.
The boys played in their first big tourney of the year, The Southwest Showcase, and they're looking good. We played (and beat) Southwest Sports Academy, Team Magic, and Team AZ to move into the championship game with YMCA Select. It was a great game, both teams played hard; however, YMCA Select came out on top...this time. We know we'll see them again, and we'll be ready for them.
These boys are great athletes, working hard, learning the skills of basketball, and building great friendships along the way. We're looking forward to the next 6 months of action packed bball. Keep working hard boys!
Our final pool game Sunday morning for a place into the championship game was against Team AZ Amp...our rivals! We are always head to head with Amp's team, and it's always a tough game. But we came out on top, winning by 2 points. We actually carried the upperhand most of the game and were up by 6 in the last few minutes. With both teams in freethrow territory, going to the line with each foul, we played it safe those last few seconds, which brought them up 2 baskets in the last 30 seconds of the game. Yet another victory under our belt, and a place in the championship game...with of course Amp again.
The last 20 seconds we go up by 1. Amp comes down, stalls a few, then sinks a 3 with 8 seconds left to go. Powerhouse takes it back down, and with 2 seconds left, sinks a 3 from the NBA 3 pointer line. The crowd goes wild! I wish I had a picture of our fans coming off the bench and onto the floor. Other teams and fans from other teams were even jumping in the air with excitement from the game! We finish the game 37-36, with another 1st place trophy!
Will stick together forever!
