Did you do the Vogues regional this weekend at Westfield? We had two well-reffed games yesterday and today. The pair today really hustled, called a nice consistent game - makes it fun to play when the game is called well. Would have been more fun if we had won |

Hawk's Coach: Sorry it took so long to answer, but I finished moving into my new home this weekend and did not check the site until this morning.
I worked at Westfield, court #2, on Friday night (2 games) and 1 game at Madison on Saturday. My first game on Friday was pretty good - Vogues (13 year olds?)were up by 8 or 9 and the Flames (MD team?) came back to win on free throws at the end. The 2nd game was a 40-odd point game. The losing team only had 6 players, but to their credit, they never quit. The 2 games on court #1 were big-time blowouts. The 8:15pm game ended up something like 132 - 25. Think it was 55 - 8 at half. The losing team was terrible and according to the officials, they never played defense and the winning team simply "cherry-picked" and ran layups all night. On Saturday, I had the 11:00 game between the Potomac Valley Aces(?), orange uniforms, and a team from MD called the Hawks - green/white uniforms. I was wondering during the game if it was your team and I asked the coach (black gentleman) at the end if he ever visited this site. Turns out it wasn't you. If you tell me what times you played, I'll find out who the officials were.

We played two games, both court 2. Had the Vogues on Saturday morning, Fairfax Stars on sunday (the two teams you had on Friday night - it was Fairfax that came back to beat the Vogues). The Flames would have been your second game.
We got two quick losses - our first trip home early in several years. Oh well - those are the silver and bronze medalists from last year, so we got medal round teams in pool play. The weak game you heard about was a team our club never should have fielded - a bunch of players who weren't picked in tryouts that a Dad volunteered to coach. None of them have played serious ball, and at this age it's a big jump into AAU. They played a tremendous team, but they shouldn't be playing in these kind of tournaments. As for Hawks, that was a different regional - don't know who they are. My Hawks were a boys team that has long since ceased to exist! |

No. We do flag football about 15 minutes from campus (walking). First games on Saturdays and Sundays are at 9am. College students being college students, we often get to work at 8 to set up, only to find the first set of games are cancelled because no one shows up. Of course, it used to be much worse when it was the frat league that played first thing in the morning.
