CAVS 13U Finish As 2nd Place Champions in CA Heat Thanksgiving Tourney

We'll repeat that again. CAVS 13U Win Finish as 2^nd Place Champions in the CA Heat Thanksgiving Tourney.

I know, right? Really?

CAVS 13U finished SECOND….in a 13U tourney…against CA Heat? On top of that, it was a game that went into overtime in a battle to the finish.  I mean---how long has this on-the-court rivalry been going on? We love the Heat and they love us—it’s all love---but seriously? Yeah. For CERTAIN there are some folks who REALLY didn’t want to see this particular write-up, but we’re about to rock it until the wheels fall off. Call it the first real 13U tourney of the season (as the clan has been playing up as 14U in the last few events). We’re talking about the CA Heat Thanksgiving Tourney, November 19^th and 20^th, 2011 in Pasadena, CA. Were the CAVS out of their usual rhythm in this tourney? YES….without a doubt! If CAVS 13U were in full sync, we wouldn’t even been having this blog-like conversation unless it was for a 1^st place championship discussion.

With that said….here’s the deal:

CAVS 13U, vs. the Next Level team during a 5:00pm evening game in Pasadena, pulled their first win of the tourney, 46-33.

At 7:00pm, CAVS 13U defeated Team Ararat, 58-13. No, it wasn’t fair.

On Sunday, the battle against the “Heats” began with a face-off vs. the ELA Heat. CAVS 13U garnered that win at 45-21, placing them into the Championship Game.

Yeah. I guess there was no real shock to anyone when CAVS 13U met CA Heat on the court for the Championship Game. 

Did we NOT know that was going to happen? Okay. I must admit…this was quite a game—not from the yelling parents on the sidelines standpoint—but because it was an actual BATTLE….to the point of going into overtime. 

We’ll give you the scenario. In the last two minutes, CAVS 13U earned the tiebreaking layup, but CA Heat was determined. They scored…then WE scored. 

They scored again—we scored again. It was tit-for-tat until things were down to the wire, 45-45 (The picture above is before overtime). Somehow, someway….something slipped (the BALL, perhaps)….and slipped right down court. Boom! CA Heat scored the last layup down low right before the buzzer, gaining the win at 47-45. You should have heard the gym erupt. OMG. You would have thought President Obama had just told every family in America they would eat free for a year. We’re not mad, though. Who can blame em’? It’s not a normal occurrence.

 So…there you have it, folks. CAVS 13U finished as 2^nd Place Champions against the CA Heat.

The CAVS BOYZ are all back in town, working hard, honing in on that highly-anticipated flow they are known for that effortlessly earns back-to-back championships.

We certainly DO hope that the victory on Sunday, November 26th was thoroughly enjoyed.

It won’t be happening again!! GAME ON!!
