Sunday saw them take the championship game with a late bucket by DJ Barnes which gave them the 51-50 win after they had been down by 6 points late.
The local AAU basketball group has been busy this summer. They have teams for boy’s high school, and middle school. Girl’s high school, junior girls. The girl’s high school team included some 8th graders.
The teams had just returned from Orlando Florida last week before heading to the Keller, Texas tournament. The high school boys team was 4-0 at Orlando before falling by just 7 points to Florida. They finished as the tournament's runner-up.
Cloudy stated, “The AAU International Organization is a mentoring group for afterschool activities and we provide scholarship opportunities for our youth. We take pride that our youth represented us well.”
