Not a bad performance in a national tournament with 162 of the best teams throughout the nation.:ylsuper:

They came in 5th at the YBOA Nationals in Orlando the Div 1 AAU Nationals was in Detroit for the 15U age group.

 

The 14U D-One Sports KY Patriots from N. KY & Ashland beat the 15U EKY Lightning in the 15U YBOA KY State Championship game in Florence a couple of months ago.

 

The Patriots did not compete at the YBOA nationals this year. Last year they finished 3rd in the nation at YBOA nationals.

Yes EKL did come in 5th in the YBOA tournament in Orlando . They played 15U. Sorry for up setting you. There were some very good teams in the 15U.

I remember the game you are talking about. I believe it was a 1 point game. EKL got a last second shot off and it went in and back out.I always wondered why a State championship game would be played in that old gym with the bad floors when they have such a nice facility close by. I guess they are home for you.

The game was played at the Sports of All Sorts in Florence, KY. Those courts are brand new this year. This facility did not have courts before this year. It is a nice facility.

There is a drop off from the basketball courts floor of about 2 to 3 inches to the walk way around them. Very dangerous I thought. If a player stumbled off they could sprain or break an ankle or some other injury.The building is no where near as nice as the other facility.

That's true. I don't know if they have fixed that yet or not.
