Da FAM Club/ Ct Select 12u and 13u advnce to Championship Rounds in AAU State Playoffs!!

May 4, 2007

Da FAM Club 12u girls made their State basketball debut for Ct Select and Da FAM Club in their State tournament this past weekend going 4-0 at the New Haven Fieldhouse Athletic Center as they pressed thier way to the Championship round this upcoming weekend. Led By Bria Holmes ,Destiny Cooper,Brianna Bradford and DiDi Nolisa the girls won by an average 20 plus per game with their pressing and trapping defense orchestrated by Coach Allen Scott(Hillhouse) the 7 girls caused turnovers into fastbreaks as Aaliyah Robinson,Olivia Levey and Alexa Dwyer filled the passing lanes to help fill up the point column.As for the 13u girls they begin their state run on late friday night as they started off with a 20 point win over the Middlesex Rage led by Cathy Nolisa and Andreana Thomas with their pressure defense as well as their ability to run the fast Breaks. Also the post game continued to become a promblem for our opposing teams as Quanesha Copper,Kalinka Deroche and Takerra williams continued to outrebound and finish putbacks to give our guards freedom to take the shots from the outside. On Saturday we traveled up to East Haven where we beat a tough CT Starters team but it was just another case of hard defense and running offense which gave us another 20 point win.Then later in the evening we faced the CT Storm in a rematch game from the Basketball Hall of Fame playoffs where they gave us a fight but the same thing seemed to be the promblem as our guard play led by Andreana Thomas and Cathy Nolisa jumped out in front with both having scored double digits by the half.In the second half the Guards continued to score as Bria Moore stepped up with sum putbacks to help finish off the storm with Andreana and Cathy finishing with 20plus points and Bria Moore and Kalinka finishing in Double digits as well.Then on Sunday We played a Big Game versus The Number 1 seeded CT Spirit and the girls and showed they were ready to play as the held the Spirit to just 2 points until 3 minutes left in the first half. Then they finished up the half with another layup and 4 free throws. As the second half started we again through our pressure we increased the lead up to 35-28 where we then began to go basket to basket to finish the game.The CT Spirit fans got a lil Hyped up as he got the lead down to 16 points ,but as time was running out all we seemed to care about was the Finish line which was near...The STAGE is SET for the Players nad Program to get pushed out into the Fore front but the Question is will they be able to handle it with the Marbles all on the Line????AAAA!!!!YYYEEEESSSS!!!! I would like to Thank again the Players,parents and Coaches for their time this weekend for helping make the tournament a successful run up until this date.
