Impressive win and they are going to be a bear come tourney time.

I wonder if Nike gives the winning team a take home "bonus" :sssh:

Maybe a repeat visit in a couple years. I did hear danny say with the hugh crowd Mason brought that someone over there told him not be surprised if they get invited back in the future.

I listened to the game and was very impressed with the playing of Mason Co. Congrats to the Royals on a very impressive win.

The support is something that definitely has not gone unnoticed by tournament organizers, according to O’Hearn.

 

 

 

“We’re really glad that everybody could make the trip and certainly the people at this tournament have not seen anything like it,” O’Hearn added. “They’ve made it clear to us that there’s never been a following for a team like we’ve had.”

That's great to hear the kind of impression we have made over there. Knowing this team is going to be strong next year and with the kids continuing to develop, it would be great to go back. Maybe next time I could make the trip. :lol:

 

I went and looked it up, this is the 24th Iolani Classic and knowing that teams from New York, California, Florida have come and gone to this thing and for them to give our little bitty town of Maysville that kind of compliment. Just a wonderful, wonderful thing.

VERY NICE!!! Good luck tomorrow agaist Rice out of NY. If they play like they did tonight, it will be a hard fought game and a great game. If Mason wins tomorrow, I say they deserve to be nationally ranked.

I think Mason Co. is ranked #25...if I read correctly on another site.

I would rather wait to see what happens tomorrow before ranking them nationally, I don't want to jinx anything. :lol:

 

Rice beat Iolani by 32 in the game after the Royals tonight. So I'm confident the Royals can beat Iolani on Saturday, they will just need to get through a very tough game against Rice tomorrow night.

Actually its around 740 pm Hawaii time now.

VERY impressive win for the Royals. I live for these types of games. It's great to see the small town KY team beat a nationally ranked team.

 

Congrats to Mason, Good luck tomorrow.

Yeah, 5 hour time difference. We are later. It is hard. I try contacting my mom there by calling at about 10 a.m. here, it is 5 a.m. there. Let's just say that is not a smart call.

I corrected sunrise to sunset! Do you know if the Royals planned a trip to Pearl Harbor or to BlackDiamond?
