BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM
Los Angeles Championship
Saturday, March 6
10am
West Adams Prep High School 1500 West Washington Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90007


Our boys are CHAMPIONS OF L.A.!

Our Tigers represented the Valley as the team from the North section, and faced off against teams from the three other regions of Los Angeles (South, East, and West) for the city title, winning the championship game, and earning the title of
#1 in all of Los Angeles.


In one of the largest cities and school districts in the world, and out of 720 elementary schools district-wide, our boys can hold up their index fingers with their big, loveable smiles.

Congratulations to Vanalden Elementary, another school from the Valley region (Reseda), who won 1st place in the Girls tournament.

And congratulations to Science Center School, who was a mighty and worthy opponent in the Finals -- our hats are off to them and their fine student-athletes.

GAME SUMMARY
Coming into the City Championships, our Tigers were 8-0, winning all their games by over 20 points each. The L.A. semi-final game continued this trend with a solid team effort and a 35-12 victory.

But the final pitted the two top teams in the city, and the Tigers faced a spirited and tenacious team from the Science Center School from the South region.

From the tip off, the crowd could tell this was going to be an incredible game. With Sherman Oaks in their blue jerseys and Science Center in red, the court was a dazzling visual delight: bold colors dashing and weaving and swirling around each other, with the blurry orange orb commanding everyone's attention.

Science Ctr scored the first points to open the game, and played tough defense throughout the first half. They were by far the quickest and sharpest shooting team the Tigers had faced all season. Sherman Oaks matched the high intensity and raised it up a notch, and through great teamwork and supreme skill, battled to a one-point lead at halftime.

After the break, the Tigers came out determined and never let up. Amazing ball handling, precise passes, and solid shooting yielded a flurry of points for the boys in blue. After they began pulling away, Sherman Oaks' dominant defensive play secured the win. The buzzer made it official -- the Sherman Oaks Elementary basketball team is tops in the land. The team and S.O. fans alike celebrated a hard fought win, and the culmination to an incredible season.
