LATEST NEWS

SUNS 4 LIFE TAKE 2 STATE TITLES
April 2009
The Suns 4 Life 13U and 15U teams had high hopes as they traveled to Baltimore's St. Frances Academy in search of their first Maryland State AAU basketball titles. Neither would disappoint, as both teams walked away with the championship trophies. The 13's dominated pool play and were very confident going into the final game. The game started as a back and forth defensive battle, but the Suns pulled away late to secure a 7 point win.

The 15U contest was just the opposite. The Suns scored off the opening tip, then reeled off 10 straight points and never looked back. Aggressive defense and balanced scoring were the keys to victory in both games. A shout out also goes out to the 14U team for finishing in third place.

The team showed it could win in a variety of ways; a close, hotly contested affair, a come from behind victory, and a blowout win. Congratulations, and keep the roll going.

A shout out also goes to the Ingram/Perry 15U team for a strong showing, going 2-1 on that day. Unfortunately, the 13U team struggled as a result missing players and ended the day with a record of 1-2.

Shout Outs for 2008 Season!
Congratulations to our 13U team coached by Robert Ingram and Derrick Perry for taking 2nd place in the Mavericks Ironhorse tournament in Brunswick, MD! They had 4 wins and 1 loss. Unfortunately, the loss was in the championship game against Hagerstown B-ballers. It proved to be an exciting game that went down to the wire and was reminiscent of the Celtics and Lakers!
