Yeah, baby. It’s true. CAVS 12U did it again, for the second TRAVEL weekend in a row during the official TRAVEL season kickoff. CAVS won the CA heat tourney this past weekend, March 26th and 27th at Harvard Westlake in Studio City, CA. Drama this weekend? Not so much. All was grand in happy-land.
Yep. First off, CAVS 12U met up on Saturday, at noon with ETE Hustle—a team comprised of two prior CAVS players…and others, of course….but it was good to catch up with our old friends, Mo and Jordan….and parents. Yeah. There’s something intensely awkward when having to cheer against folks you used to cheer with.
Nevertheless….CAVS 12U defeated ETE Hustle 38-19.
The win placed CAVS 12U to square up with the tourney hosts, CA Heat.
It is always a pleasure to see the beautiful Valerie of the Heat play like nobody’s business. The girl definitely represents and works to hold her own with the strength of our CAVS Boys. We like her because she looks “girlie” but plays hard like one of the boys.
The boys definitely treat her no differently and show her no mercy, as it should be.
I wonder what was going through CAVS-boy Cameron Townsend’s mind as he played against his old team members of the Heat. Guess at age 12, nobody really cares. They all just want to know where the heck it is they’re going to eat after it’s all over.CAVS 12U defeated CA Heat, 40-29.
On Sunday evening, CAVS 12U would face off with GYGR for the championship. Okay. What is it with Sundays and evenings? Is there some unwritten youth basketball rule that expressly states that games must run late on Sunday evenings? Summer = good. All other seasons = bad. Youth B-Ball schedulers must forget that Mondays (especially mornings) are the main, busy days people hate to wake up on, love to complain about, live to dread and unanimously hate.
I’m just sayin’.
Anyhoo…GYGR has a GINORMOUS kid on it. See him above...#22? Our Mike Irving towers over folks, but above, he looks like...well...ME vs. Shaq. As if. I thought Chris from Flight Elite was big, but yoowee….this kid from GYGR is bigger. Huge. Anybody need a bodyguard? If I didn’t know any better I’d think GYGR stood for Great Youth Giant Reform. Jeez. It’s not a complaint, but an observation. He walked past me and completely blocked out the lights, he was so massive. Not that I’m that tall to begin with, but hey…I have excellent judgment of distance and length.
However…our 12U boys held their own - administering that tough CAVS defense and the ability to light the gym up with their creative offense.
The bottom line? CAVS 12U defeated GYGR, 40-19, winning the championship. GO CAVS 12U!! GAME ON, BABY!!
