Congratulations to our 9u Sixers for earning the Bronze Medal in the 2K11 Potomac Valley AAU Regional tournament.

 

As did the 11u Sixers, the 9u team had to endure horrific officiating and horrible conditions.  They played well and did not let the distraction deter them from achieving their quest for a national bid.

 

We are very proud of the way they played and never stop competing from start to finish.  Their play symbolized our motto of "Team First" in every way.

 

Again, congratulations at the nationals.

Congratulations to the players, coaches and parents for representing the Metro Sixers at the 5th Grade/11u AAU National Championship in Cocoa Beach, FL.  Our team showed why they are the number 5th Grade/11u team in Potomac Valley.  This represents a Back to Back 10th Place Finish for the team (2010, 4th Grade).  The team faced tremendous adversity in the beginning, but was able to prevail and win four straight games to place 10th in the nation.

 

The outcome of an AAU national tournament or any other tournament does not define the quality of the team or the players.  It simply means that for that day or particular weekend there were other teams that were better or worst.

 

However, it can be used as a measuring stick to clearly understand what it takes to compete on that level. 

 

Again, we are so proud of the team's positive attitude and continue hard work during the

week. There were 68 other teams who journeyed to Cocoa Beach, FL and did not place.

Last year our teams competed and won a number of tournaments and placed 10th in the nation at 5th Grade.  Our goal this year is to add quality pieces to our existing core group of players.

 

Again, we look forward to seeing you in the gym.

 

Regards,

The 3rd Grade/9u Sixers competed in the 2011 AAU national championship in Orlando, FL.  The team played extremely hard in game #1 and lost by 2.  However, the team rebounded the next game and won by 8 points.

 

The win setup the stage for win/loss for 2nd place finish out of the pool.  Unfortunately, they did not win the third game.  However, they were able to finish second place.

 

We want to congratulate the players, coaches and parents for representing the Metro Sixers at the AAU National Championships. The team showed strength and character.  The plan is to get back in the gym and start the process all over again.

 

Job well done!
