ALL PRACTICES WILL END BY WED. JUNE 2.

11U NH FASTBREAK TEAM WINS STATE CHAMPIONSHIP

Congratulations to the 11U team for a hard- fought victory in the championship game against the Spartans to win the NH State Title today! All of their games were close ones, but they managed to hang on and come out on top. Great job to the team and coach.

Worth mentioning were the 14U-L team that lost a close game in the championship against a tough Mass/NH Rivals team. This game could have gone either way, but the Rivals came out on top. Congratulations on a 2nd place finish.

Unfortunately, the 10U team could not enter as there were no other teams to challenge them. It’s too bad, because I’m sure they would have won also.

MAY/JUNE CALENDARS UPDATED

The May and June calendars have been updated with practice times and courts.
