Three on Three Basketball Tournament

The 2008 3 on 3 Tourney was held Saturday July 12th at the Crystal Chandelier Courts. As always we were treated to a very competitive finals. Long time rivals met once again to decide this years winner. When the final shot was taken the "Caucasion Persuasion" claimed this years bragging rights to our 2008 Championship. After claiming the title the first two years of our Tournament the NBA All-Stars finally met their match in a hard fought 3 out of 5 game championship. This proved to be a duel of two very evenly matched teams who battled to the final shot for this years championship. Hats off to all the boys who played and provided the spectators with a great morning of basketball.

The first Friends of Crystal Beach "3 on 3 Basketball"Tournament was held as a part of the Crystal Beach Festival on Saturday July 29th. The parking lot of the Crystal Chandelier served as host to the tourney and the 9 teams of boys and girls that played. Age group winners were:

13 - 14 year olds - The coed team of Tia, Mary Jean, Matt and Mark aka "The Comet II's" won a hard fought 2 out of 3 games to claim the championship.

11 - 12 year olds - This division had 5 teams competing for top honors. The highlight of the tournament was the finals of this division. Facing off were the "NBA All-Stars" vs. "The Heat". Under a blazing sun in hot and humid conditions these two teams battled evenly for over 30 minutes without either giving an inch. The score was 8 to 7 at halftime and the two teams continued to battle from there. When all was said and done and the dust settled in the paint the scoreboard showed(with Maddie's help) the NBA All-Stars had come away with a 2 point sudden death thrilling victory. The "NBA All-Stars" were made up of Austin, Kacey, and Lucas.
