Fall Classic Update

Northwest Magic Players, Coaches, & Parents

This weekend was an exceptional weekend of basketball as Northwest Magic hosted our own Fall Classic Tournament. Congratulations to all teams that participated. 4th graders played 2 games, splitting 1-1. The second game was an exciting experience as NWM-4th beat Lady Force 22-21. All girls played well and it was a great team win. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough teams to host a 5th grade division, so our 5th grade team did not play, however, our 5th graders will be busy during the Dec tournament because many organizations have signed up and it looks promising. Congratulations to the 6th graders and 8th graders who took the Championship! The 6th graders went undefeated! 8th graders 3-1. A special thanks to our wonderful 7th grade team. I appreciate your flexibility and commitment to Northwest Magic as you all were understanding as we had to change the schedule due to some teams dropping out last minute.

I want to thank the players, coaches, and parents for making this weekend an enjoyable experience. I looked forward to going to the gym every day. Players, your parents couldn't’t have been more supportive of you and the program as they volunteered their time and supported each player in various games. Thank you Coaches for doing your part. Great leadership. The girls are lucky to have you. Thank you to Gerald for directing the tournament. His quick fixes and quick adjustments made for a smooth weekend. Thank you to the officials who were very flexible with their time and our changes.

Upward and onward....our goal is to get better each time. Looking forward to our next hosted tournament, Holiday Hoopfest, to be held Dec 3-5, 2010. GO MAGIC!!!!!
