Da FAM Club Girls do it again this time winning the BasketBull tournament "Hall of Fame Tourney" inside the Basketball Hall of Fame Center Court.Da FAM Club was led by Latavia Goss(Bassick) with 16 points a game even though she was in foul trouble throughtout the tournament.Tavia had to sit out the entire first Half as well as part of the second half as she came out of the gate to anxious an picked up 3 quick fouls 5 minutes into the 1st round game.But in return along with the return to the roster Ashley Prim they staged a rally that pushed Da FAM back into the lead for good. The second game was against A Scrappy team who tried to use all 12 players 60 fouls to contian Latavia and crew but just couldn't do nothing with the supporting Cast for this tournament. Taleesha Peeler(8th Bridgeport),Shayna Calandro(Milford 8th),Krisia(Mcmahon) and Jordan Staton(Hillhouse) defense inside the paint and in the corners where We worked our traps were to much as We fought our way out without injuries to the Championship round which was going to be in the Center Court at the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield,Mass. Nillie(Hillhouse) and Ellen Bethea(Hillhouse) also had to pick up the slack at Point Guard because of the absence of Ashley Prim who had to leave because of a prior engagement.An they handled it well as We jumped up to plus 20 numerous times in the game after a couple of frustrating fouls from them on Latavia everytime she crossed halfcourt.But that set the stage for the Championship Sunday with girls ready to go we arrived a hour before the game to view the "HALL" and check the rims for Height and Softness, We jumped out to a pit of Quicksand as We couldn't seem to get it going and the Middlesex Rage was running on Fresh Golf Course Green up to a 15 point Lead and 12 point halftime lead. But after a Nice Calm halftime speech and a few game adjustments We slowly swithched to 4 wheel drive an began to catch up.With a few key stops from Taleesha Peeler and Dannisha "Bug" Pierce(Hillhouse) We started to chip away going into the final stretch. Then with 4minutes left We went to a tight grip with a full court Man to Man defense which locked down their guards penetration and kicks and We took the lead going into the last 1:30 in the game. With packed Hall of Fame Crowd yelling play by play Da FAM Club and the Rage exchanged timeouts down the stretch to keep the focus of the kids and the script and became a chess match between the two sides .But with the assistance of Coaches Mike Prim and Don Peeler We pulled out a 54-51 win. We would like to thank the BasketBull Family for the Experience in playing Center Court inside the Hall of Fame as well as the Mothers and parents who took us up for the weekend Games on Mother's Day.
