The Weekend Review

June 10-12, 2016

            This weekend the Gauchos conducted their annual March on Washington to the Maryland Invitational Tournament. The MIT as it is known is a nationally acclaimed tournament that features some of the top teams in the country. The MIT is a great measuring stick of how good we really are. So here we go.

Leading the way was our 6^th grade team, led by coach Mo Hicks and his staff. Our young Choz dominated pool play with wins over: Caveman Evolution (49-16), MD Rockets (58-21) and Philly Triple Threat. These Gauchos went through: ARC (49-31), Team Melo (62-41), and Team Wall (68-56) in bracket play. In a tight game that went into overtime our Gauchos came up short at the free throw line in a (58-48) loss to GC Ballers in the championship game.

The 4^th grade Young Choz lost a 2 point pool play game to E1T1 (50-48) to put them in the Silver Bracket. Taking on KSK (53-15), VA Playmakers (39-19), Expressions (47-31), to meet WV Burn (35-20) in the Chip. Validating These Young Choz as one of the top teams in this event.

The 8^th grade and Coach Tommy proved they are still on of the top teams in the country by marching straight to the final four where they ran into BWSL and a 68-64 L. So much has been said about this team and they don’t disappoint.
