You can add Ohio Elite and NKY Rockets (2x) to the list of other 7th grade teams that the Legends have beaten by double digits. After this weekend, the Legends are now 24 - 3 on the season. They have entered 6 tournaments, won 4 of them, and finished Runner-Up in the other 2. The 2 Runner-Up finishes were while they were playing in the 8th grade division.

I don't see them in D1 state in 13 or 14 U. If there one of the best in the state shouldn't they be playing???

Of coarse I'm talking about the legends

Nothing against AAU, but there seems to be a lot of better tournaments to play in this year where you don't have to break up your team, or having to play up

I agree. I have 6 kids that have the May thru August birthdays, 3 that are legit 13u and 2 that are what we consider the older kids sept b days. I like the Aau rule. Said so from the time they announced it but I do think they need to rethink their date. Aau season is over by August. I think change it to what age u are jan 1st is what u play. Jmo

The Legends are not playing 13U D-I because of a prior organizational commitment to play in Gatlinburg, Tenn this weekend before the dates for State AAU were announced. All of the Legends' teams (HS, 8th grade, 7th grade, girls, etc) are going to Tenn. to hang out, play some basketball, and enjoy the Smokies.

 

The State AAU dates just didn't coincide with the plans for the team. The Bearcat is a favorite tournament as well, but it falls on the same weekend as D-II State. And since D-I had to be missed, D-II State is currently in the plans. Although, depending upon competition level and teams entering D-II State, maybe that will change. The Bearcat is using grade based eligibility, and obviously, AAU is using the new age eligibility rules.

 

The Legends plan to play State D-II 13U and D-II 13U Nationals unless they qualify in a Super Regional as D-I. For the record, the Legends have already played 3 or 4 of the 6 teams that were mentioned in the other thread that are playing D1 this weekend. They haven't lost to a 13U team yet this season. That isn't to say they would win D-I, but they have a good group of kids and would give it a run. They are also looking to play D-III U14 as well.

It looks like the 13U D1 state is set.

I have two kids with August 2001 Birthdays or we would be in this event. These kids will not play a single game in the 2015 AAU Season as a 14 year old. But can't play in this event. It really stinks for them. We could have gone 13U but didn't want to separate the kids. We will chose between the Bearcat and 14U D2. I'm also looking forward to the Eddie Ford Event in April.

Interesting to see The Ville back in AAU. I thought they would be out with the graduation of their 2015 kids.

Mike Powell has a seventh grade son. I think they just play some of the big tournaments and that is about it.

Justin is 14u so that ain't mike. Justin plays for world wide wildcats and powell will sometimes play locally as the ville. I hear Wiley Brown coaches this 13u group.

I will add that Justin cant flat out play.

The Ville 13u is ghitp A team I am told.

Justin is naturally gifted for sure. I didn't know GHITP had two teams. I played one a couple weeks ago. Not sure which one that was.

Looks like Legends won 13U State D2. But, there were only a couple other teams. Looking at scores, they beat GHITP and WKY Elite in Pool Play by 25+ and then won the championship game by 11. Wonder how they would have done in D1?

 

I saw there was a Legends team playing in 14U too. I heard from a Royals parent that it was their same team, but they didnt fare too well losing 2x to the eventual runner-up, Rich City, by 8pts each time. It looks like they did win one game against ICE in the 14U division.

I see the legends 13u team is playing this week in 14u d3 state. Do they not have any 14u kids? Just thought it was odd to be on the schedule as NKY legends 13u.
