As you know we have 2 more practices scheduled. Next Tues at Union Hall & next Thurs at Glenmont. We are in the Albany Capitals tournament June 18-19th. We will be playing 2 more games to make up for the one tournament we are short. It will either be 2 seperate games or we may have a Saturday round robin at our gym and play 2 games against other 10 year old teams. I received many compliments from the Loudonville Lady Saints caoches and parents about how good we are for a 10 year old team playing against bigger 11 year olds.I have heard nothing but good things from many of the teams we played all year.I have to say I agree. the girls have put forth a tremendous effort all year.They are great sports and a great group of kids. I would also like to thank the parents for their support and understanding this year.

As everyone knows we aren't in the tournament this weekend. I don't know why they didn't accept our entry.Regardless I am trying to schedule scrimmage games this week. We have the availability of the gym at the Middle School 5/24, 5/26, and 5/31 from 6-9PM and 5/25 from 6:30 - 8:30. I sent an e-mail to other coaches & am hoping for a response. I also sent all parents the possible replacement tournament on June 10 - 12 in Poughkeepsie. Please let me know about any conflicts ASAP. I hope everyone is enjoying the season. I know I am. It doesn't matter how much we win or lose by. the important thing is that the girls a having a positive experience. After all this is only 10 year old basketball and we want the girls to want to continue playing and improving.
