Greenburgh Kings - Back to the National Tournament
For the second year in a row, the Greenburgh Kings will participate in the AAU National Basketball Tournment hosted by Disney Wide World of Sports in Orlando, Florida. On May 18, 2008, the Greenburgh Kings qualified for the National Tournament by achieving a 5-0 record at the New York Metropolitan District Tournament. The Greenburgh Kings earned a spot in the Final Four of this highly touted tournament and now hold a 9-2 overall record in this competition.
The Kings were almost at the brink of defeat versus the Brooklyn Ballers. With only 10:29 left on the clock the Kings were down 17 points. The coaches brought the Kings together with a timeout and explained that this is our last chance to make it to Nationals and that these next minutes were precious and would need to be played near perfect to win the game. The Kings did just that and rallied in the second half to outscore the Brooklyn Ballers 34-10 and win the game by 7 points. This phenomenal victory secured their spot in the 14 and under AAU National Championship held in Orlando, Florida.
Congratulations Kings!
