The Germantown Hardknocks 12U team hold’s off the ICOG boy’s in a 36-22 win at the VCCI Soaring Eagles Basketball tournament clinching the Championship title for the 6th grade boys.

March 14, 2012
Our team of very dedicated and talented young men took their lumps this season competing in the Rising Star 8th grade AAU "A" bracket league. They finished the regular season with a convincing win and then were placed in the B bracket for the playoffs. We easily won our 1st playoff game and then narrowly won our 2nd playoff game placing us in the Championship. Hardknocks 13U Coach White's team matched up against the Bethesda Magic for the championship. At times it seemed the Hardknocks had the game locked up. The Magic rallied back and kept it close till the end with a final win going to the Hardknocks!! The coaching staff and the parents are very proud of our team and their NEVER GIVE UP ATTITUDE!!
Excellent Work Hardknocks
