Coaching & Support Staff and all the SELECT GIRLS families. Our SELECT GIRLS continued on their JULY COLLEGE COACHES EXPOSURE TOUR at their next stop in WASHINGTON, DC area @ the US JUNIOR NATIONALS 17U EVENT! LOWCOUNTRY BALLERS SELECT BALLERS start their WASHINGTON, DC EXPOSURE EVENT strong with TWO DAY ONE victories over tough NEW YORK CITY LADY BULLDOGS & PHILADELPHIA MID-ATLANTIC HEAT teams at beautiful CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY! Our SELECT GIRLS continue to execute on the court and picked up TWO more victories on the SECOND DAY of the DC US Jr. Nationals. The morning game was an aggressive performance against the STEALERZ team from WISCONSIN. After a quick lunch the SELECT BALLERS played a tough NEW JERSEY PANTHERS team who had desires to grab control of the POOL with a victory. However, our SELECT GIRLS stepped up their man-to-man defense and blew open a close game in the second half to remain undefeated in their POOL and looking to move into the TOP 16 with a win Tues. morning. DAY THREE - YOUR SELECT BALLERS started by leaving the hotel at 6:30am 
and used the early 8 am game motivation & the college coaches observing to jump all over the Frederick Maryland NIKKI TEASLEY team. HOT outside shooting, and just too much, too strong defense led the Ballers to a big double digit win! The BALLERS WON their POOL without dropping a game and are in the TOP 16!!! If they can get by a talented NC FORCE team they will be in the Elite Eight!!! A great start in the PM game TUES against the determined Carolina Force team from Fayetteville resulted in a 20pt plus lead at halftime! Nevertheless, all good teams make a run and the CAROLINA FORCE team are a GOOD team! They locked down the BALLERS in the second half and made it a tough game all the way to the end. However, YOUR SELECT BALLERS did not waiver in the physical 2nd half and were able to still control the tempo, and hang on to a 10pt. hard fought victory! The SELECT BALLERS now face a rematch with the MARYLAND GRIZZLIES ELITE - a team the SELECT GIRLS just beat in TENNESSEE last week in a great DOUBLE OVERTIME game! This will be good game with the winner having a chance to get to the CHAMPIONSHIP! DAY FOUR IN DC - CHAMPIONSHIP "WEDNESDAY" CAME WITH THE SELECT BALLERS HAVING AN 8AM REMATCH WITH THE MARLYLAND GRIZZLIES LOADED FOR BEAR LOOKING TO TEAR APART OUR LADIES IN THEIR HOME AREA. THEY ROLLED DOWN FROM BALTIMORE AND JUMPED ON OUR SELECT GIRLS RIGHT FROM THE TIP. WITH A TOUGH DEFENSE AND GOOD OUTSIDE SHOOTING THE GRIZZLIES CONTROLLED THE FIRST HALF! OUR BALLERS WERE PLAGUED WITH TURNOVER FEVER AND SQUANDERED MANY OFFENSIVE OPPORTUNITIES. WE MANAGED ONLY 14 POINTS IN THE ENTIRE FIRST HALF. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EASY FOR THE BALLERS TO PACK IT IN AND GIVE UP! BUT YOU KNOW HOW THE BALLERS DO....ALL WE DO IS WIN!... THE SELECT GIRLS CAME OUT IN THE SECOND HALF STEPPED UP THEIR GAME AND WERE ABLE TO ERASE THE DOUBLE DIGIT DEFICIT TO GO UP BY TWO POINTS!!! OK...GAME IS BACK ON AGAIN. WITH THE GAME HANGING TIGHT TOWARD THE END UNFORTUNATELY THE SELECT BALLERS HAD SEVERAL TURNOVERS BACK TO BACK AND GAVE THE GRIZZLIES A SMALL CUSHION THEY WERE ABLE TO MAINTAIN WHILE THE BALLERS HAD TO RESORT TO FOULING. MARYLAND KNOCKED DOWN THE FREE THROWS AND TOOK THE WIN IN THIS REMATCH! THE MARYLAND GRIZZLIES USED THE TREMENDOUS REMATCH WIN OVER THE BALLERS AND THAT MOMENTUM CARRIED THEM TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP LATER THAT DAY! CONGRATULATIONS ON WINNING THE CHAMPIONSHIP IN THE SILVER DIVISION AT THE US 17U JR. NATIONALS! GREAT WAY TO FINISH YOUR SEASON! WE LOOK FOR THE NEXT OPPORTUNITY TO GO FOR ROUND THREE NEXT YEAR! ALTHOUGH, OUR SELECT BALLERS FINISHED A LITTLE SHORT OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME THE LADIES PLAYED EXTREMELY WELL ALL TOURNAMENT AND THE SINGLE LOSS WAS DISAPPOINTING BUT SHOWS THEIR IS STILL ALWAYS WORK TO DO.....ALL WE DO IS WIN!!!

Lowcountry Ballers SELECT GIRLS Team
Coaching & Support Staff and all the SELECT GIRLS families. Our SELECT GIRLS continued on their JULY COLLEGE COACHES EXPOSURE TOUR at their next stop in NASHVILLE, TN area @ the BATTLE in the BORO! After one day rest from the FLORIDA SHOWCASE our SELECT GIRLS headed up to through the mountains towards NASHVILLE, TN. Our SELECT BALLERS had to get up early to register, get the required NCAA session completed and shoot over to their first game by 9:15am. The SELECT GIRLS were appreciative and surprised that a full line-up of 
COLLEGE COACHES were already there early to watch us go against the OKLAHOMA LADY ICE. Our girls got it rolling early and blew open a close game in the second half for their initial victory of this event. The girls grabbed a little lunch, quick nap, and came back in the afternoon to grab another double digit victory and show the COACHES that the Lowcountry Ballers Select teams was here to play. DAY 2 started with an EARLY 8am GAME for our SELECT girls and again the COLLEGE COACHES had the Starbucks, IPADs, & notebooks in full effect to evaluate the BALLERS against a tough SOUTH JERSEY BLITZ team. This was a physical & gruelling contest from start to finish. Our Ballers had the ball with the game tied under 12 seconds remaining when a tough closely guarded 5 second call turned the ball over to the Jersey Girls for a chance to win it. However, our SELECT Ballers played tough D and the game moved into OT. Fortunately, our Ballers got the tip, controlled the clock and after a transition bucket Aalyiah Keels went to the hole for the bucket to put the Ballers up. Great team defense and rebounding enable our SELECT GIRLS to secure the early am OT victory! Afterwards, all the Ballers hit the sack for much needed rest and prepare for the afternoon's contest. Our SELECT Girls faced a shorter but quick Austin Texas Extreme 212. Although our BALLERS led the entire game it wasn't until late 2nd half we were able to stretch it out and secure another double digit victory. After four victories our SELECT girls were in firm control of their Pool but needed to finish undefeated to ensure a #1 seed and move on. DAY THREE began with another 9am game and a TN KNOCKOUT team that was looking for the upset! Despite lots of sloppy play by our BALLERS we finally started executing our game plan and the result was big double digit win and a spot in the top 12 of the 72 teams competing. The second game of the day was against a very good Baltimore MD team who was undefeated, had won their Pool also and was looking to tear apart our BALLERS....which most of the first half and part of the second they were able to do. With under 7 minutes to play and down 14 your SELECT BALLERS decided it was time to step it up for the Lowcountry. They battled back with great man-to-man defense and inside scoring by our BiGS and clutch outside 3 pt. shooting by Maria Corella enabled us to force OT! During the first OT our SELECT BALLERS grabbed a lead and played solid defense but a great effort by the MD Team resulted in a bucket at the buzzer AND a BALLER FOUL 
!!!
Unfortuately, the MD player missed the and-one and the teams moved in DOUBLE OT. GREAT team defense and JENIFER RHODES & BRIANNA BOYD went to work down low and with their rebounds and putbacks enabled the Ballers to strike early. Nevertheless, the GRIZZLIES would not quit and were able to come back and tie the game but a good move by Aaliyah resulting in the bucket and a foul gave the Ballers the lead. Although, we missed the FT JENIFER grabbed the REB and putback completing the comeback and giving the SELECT BALLERS the 4pt victory. GREAT TEAM EFFORT was the reason for this victory and moved the SELECT Girls to the Elite Eight and a chance to get into the Championship game. Nevertheless, the early game and the Double OT victory took a lot of the bounce out of the Ballers legs and despite the effort were not able to withstand the hot-shooting pressing, Kentucky Premier Team who had only played that am and were just to well rested for us to handle. This single loss eliminated our SELECT girls just a step or two short of winning the Premier 16/17U Division but the fact that all the college coaches that had an opportunity to observe our SELECT Ballers perform was the best trophy! GREAT JOB LADIES....see you in DC!!! Thanks to all the parents that made the long trip to TENNESSEE and special thanks again to TEAM MOM - Kenya Brown for the transportation and TLC for the girls during this event. Grab a little rest SELECT Girls NEXT STOP on EXPOSURE TOUR - US Jr. NATIONALS in METRO WASHINGTON DC!!! ALL WE DO IS WIN!!!
Congratulations and keep "winning" this season!

Lowcountry Ballers SELECT GIRLS Team
Coaching & Support Staff and all the SELECT GIRLS families. Our SELECT GIRLS kicked off their JULY COLLEGE COACHES EXPOSURE TOUR in GREENSBORO, NC @ the Gate City Classic! Despite injuries to 2 starting guards & adjusting to three newcomers to our team, the girls swept tough competition (WS Stealers, COLORADO FURY) the first day & were looking forward to the pool championship match-up with one of the best teams in the country - Phoenix Elite on their home court. Our SELECT Ballers started strong and were in command and leading nicely at halftime. Unfortunately, as all good teams do, the Lady Phoenix made a strong run in the 2nd half that got them back in the game and then the battle was on. Both teams fought hard and our SELECT Ballers feel short in the end, but with all the college coaches below watching both teams really won big! 
GREAT EFFORT in your first tournament together and GOOD LUCK down in Orlando, FL at the SUPER SHOWCASE!!! ALL WE DO IS WIN!!!
Congratulations and keep "winning" this season!

Coaching & Support Staff and all the SELECT GIRLS families. Our SELECT GIRLS continued on their JULY COLLEGE COACHES EXPOSURE TOUR at the next stop in ORLANDO, FL @ the 
AAU JUNIOR SUPER SHOWCASE! After the LONG DRIVE (or short flights 
) & short night our SELECT BALLERS had to get up early and start the SHOWCASE run. A sluggish start by our SELECT girls resulted in an initial deficit to a good FLORIDA BLUE STAR ELITE Team. (This team went on to win the SILVER CHAMPIONSHIP.) Nevertheless, with COLLEGE COACHES watching, it was time for our SELECT GIRLS to step it up. They finally got it rolling BALLERS style and were able to build a big double digit lead over the Blue Star Team. However, late in the game unneccessary fouls, and turnovers led to the big lead decreasing and the resulting margin of victory only being 9 points. This would come back to haunt the SELECT Team later in the Showcase. Next up was the ALABAMA Vigilence Ballers. Again, slow starting SELECT and energetic effort by the ALABAMA BALLERS led to a tight first half. The 2nd half our SELECT Girls demonstrated why they are the "true" BALLERS and build a big lead in front of the coaches and coasted home with the victory and the sole possession of first place after day 1. Day 2 schedule allowed the SELECT girls some much needed rest after the long trip and first day's games. Unfortunately, our SELECT girls forgot to wake up when the game began and the MASSACHUSETTS BAYTOWN JAGUARS kicked the BALLERS all around the court the entire first half building a big lead. This solid team went on to win the GOLD CHAMPIONSHIP. Nevertheless, with a large crowd of college coaches observing, 
they saw our SELECT Girls battle back to within single digits but run out of time and ended up in a three way tie for first and due to a 2pt differential in points found themselves drop from GOLD to the Bronze position. A solid CHICAGO area MIDWEST ELITE (eventual BRONZE Runner-ups) team victory knocked the SELECT team out of the tournament but their efforts had coaches smiling and marking down LOWCOUNTRY BALLERS to follow in Tennessee. The team continues to improve and are quickly learning how to play better together. Thanks to all the parents that made the long trip from NC to FL and special thanks to TEAM MOM - Kenya Brown for heroic efforts transporting and caring for the girls the last 6 days. Get a Quick rest SELECT Girls NEXT STOP on EXPOSURE TOUR - BATTLE in the 'BORO in Franklin, TENNESSEE!!! ALL WE DO IS WIN!!!
Congratulations and keep "winning" this season!
