AAU Basketball, Twin Valley

3/31 -4/1 Twin Valley Tournament, Elverson, PA

3/31 9pm Court 2 Twin Valley Won 55-18
4/1 2 pm Court 2 York Rebels Won 51-25
4/1 6 pm Court 1 Schuylkill Vipers NoPlay ---
4/1 4 pm Court 2 Unscheduled Add: Galloway Lost 41-34

There were 6 teams in our pool for this tournament. It was an open tournament, so there was no winner, just a 4-game guarantee. With four games, each team draws every other team in the tournament except one. Our draw had us playing everyone but Galloway. As it turns out, our team and Galloway played at a higher level than the rest of the teams, and we both were on track for 4-0. However, our final opponent, having seen our previous games, decided they didn't want to play us. Arrangements were made for us to play Galloway instead. It really would have been a shame to play the entire tournament, and miss playing the only real competition.


We had them tied 20-20 at half, and were within 3 with a minute to go. Galloway hit a 3 to extend the lead to 6, and we tried to change personnel to bring in three-point shooters, to no avail. Galloway played very well, and took advantage of our weaknesses. Something we can learn from.
