11U 2007 AAU Nationals
Kenner LA
July 7, 2007

Game Six  Championship Round
 
Kansas City Hoop Stars 36     WV Thunder 29
Thunder -- Jenna Burdette 12, Mychal Johnson 7, Madison Jones 4, Allie Slone 3, Hannah Murray 2, Miranda Workman 1
 
The 2007 season is now history.  Looking back over the season there were many highs and lows. The 11u team came up short of our goal in New Orleans.  We were one win away from the Sweet Sixteen which is our goal at the beginning of each season.  In pool play we finished #2 in the pool and advanced to the championship game with an exciting overtime win over Atlanta Select.  The overtime games continued as the team pulled out a one point victory in overtime vs. the North Carolina Stars.  The Thunder lost the next two games and were eliminated from the event.  In the final game Vs the Kansas City Hoop Stars it was 36-29 as Jenna Burdette tossed in 12 points. It is now back to the drawing board as we begin to make plans for the 2008 season that will conclude in Rochester, Minnesota in July of 2008.
