6th Grade White

3rd PLACE VICTORY FOR 6th GRADE WHITE TEAM!!


The 6th Grade White Team came together as an aggressive, smart and physical team this weekend. They played four tough games against very physical teams who have been playing together for a long time. This tournament produced tremendous tenacity from the players, and displayed their intense refusal to quit. The season’s finale showed that the players have truly come together and have become a team, as indicated by the second game of the tournament where they played an extremely physical and talented team from the bay area. At the beginning of this year, their first year as a team, they may have been intimidated by this aggressive play, but they held their own and fought back to win!!!! Parents, family and friends jumped out of their seats cheering with a frenzy. Although the team lost the third game to a very seasoned team, the players came back and won their last game. The character, fortitude, and growth shown by this team has been amazing to witness.

In this season finale, the team won its first game 58-45 against the San Francisco Olympic Club. They won their second game 36-31 against the Bulldawgs. The team lost the third game 46-64 against Team Select. The 6th Grade White Team proudly won their game in the 2nd Place Pool, 57-53 and finished third in their division.
