1st AAU tournament


Tob has had the pleasure of coaching the majority of Nojah's 6th grade class this year for AAU. His initial intentions were to get these kids into 4 or 5 tournaments for the year, but that was before he was hired as the JV high school coach. In addition to the high school commitment, he had a few boys unable to commit to some of the tournaments and things just sort of fell apart. However the majority of the boys and Lexy kept practicing 2 nights a week and this weekend we were able to take them to their first tourney. We were missing 2 kids that initially practiced with us and picked up one the week before and one the day of the games. They had 4 games in 2 days, improving with each game and winning their last game and taking 7th place.

The kids all get along great and are a fun group to watch play.

Here is the official team picture for the weekend with coach Toby.

We are looking forward to another tournament in March, which would be great because these kids have a lot of talent, but definitely need some time on the court and other teams to play.
