Because I had heard so much about this 6th grade Tigers team, I wanted to see them play. When my grandson was done with his games, I got an opportunity to watch the tigers play against the wolfpac team(I think). I do not like to steal any teams thunder, but I do not recall any player on the wolfpac team that stood-out from the other players. I do not recall a player scoring 27 points or is it 35 points on that Tigers Team in the G-Town tournament. I do remember the wolfpac team getting a ton of layups because the tiger team looked like they were learning a new defense. However, the only two kids I remember were the Tigers point guard and another Tiger kid that look like he play linebacker for the steelers. I asked my grandson the same question and he could only remember the Tigers point guard(the kid can play). I also recall the tigers being up by 12 or more and than it appears the Tiger coach started working on different defenses and subing in 5 players for 5 players. I truly do not think the Tiger coach was playing just to win. That was obvious. I was also at the Omega Flight game as well. I think it should be told that the Omega team got a BIG break because the Tiger team had to played Back-to-Back games. There was no break between the games. It was like the Tigers played 8 quarters in one game. I do not think the Tiger coach knew they had to play back-to-back because that team played full court pressure man-to-man the hold game before the Omega Game. They also played full court man-to-man in the Omega Game. That Tiger team was extremely exhausted. It was obvious the Tiger Coach was working on developing defensive man-to-man skills. If I was the parents or the coach of these two teams(wolfpac and Omega), I would not compare my competative level against that Tiger team based on those games. This is the first time in a long time I saw a AAU coach put developing his kids ahead of just winning a game. Bragging is sometimes the reason all these AAU coaches run up the scores.
