The 10th Grade , 16U team played in St. Charles MO in the 2008 Howell Hoopfest Varsity Division taking 3rd Place and finishing with a record of 3-1. Playing up a division helped the team gain experience against stronger more physical teams. The team had balanced scoring throughout the tournament, and saw great improvement in their post play. The team won the first two games by an average of twenty points and lost their third game by ten to the Springfield Magic. They bounced back with a third place finish on Sunday, winning by fourteen. If the team continues to improve over the next month it should be fun at Nationals in July.
