Team Fury Black places 6th in the 11th-12th grade division. Weekend record finishes at 2-3.
Team Fury Red continues to show great toughness. I believe they have improved every time they touch the hardwood. It's been a real treat watching this group come together and to watch their Team chemistry grow. Do they playing a perfect game?...No. But they do what needs to been and when it needs to be done. Everything from making a clutch free-throw, securing a crucial rebound, controlling end of game possessions, generating a deflection or seeing the open floor in transition. Doing the little things very well, more often than not, typically leads to success. Team Fury Black...6 points. That was the combined point differential this weekend that had us playing for 5th place instead of playing for the Championship. This Team competes...period! My heart breaks and goes out to each of our players every time we come so so close. The number of ways we beat ourselves can be very frustrating. If we make a few more layups, grab a few more rebounds and reduce our turnovers how things might turnout. It's easy to play the "woulda shoulda coulda" game. I can tell you that this is a struggle for me at times as well..."should I have used this defense? should I have called this play? should I have had this line up? should I have called a timeout?". As I sit back and reflect after every tournament and play that game...I eventually reach the conclusion that there is so much as a Team we can still control. The little things that come back to haunt us are fixable...we have to realize this and go to work to correct them!

If you where to ask me who I would want in my fox hole...I would tell you our entire program. I love our kids, wouldn't trade any of them, and wouldn't go to war without them. The personalities and fight inside them make the growing pains we go through every bit worth while.
Let's take the fight to them one more time Team Fury! Make them remember!
The Team Fury "Weekend Warrior" Award will be recognized after each tournament. A "Weekend Warrior" is somebody who displayed "Toughness" as defined by our Team Fury Philosophy during the tournament. This award is voted upon by the coaching staff.
