MLK Weekend - Orlando, Richmond, Lancaster
VA Elite Teams go big for MLK weekend season openers.
VA Elite News
The 2012 season kicked off to a very strong start over MLK weekend. In a break with tradition our teams went to different tournaments to test their strength and in true VA Elite fashion, proved we are always contenders.
Our 13 Blue and Black teams started strong in local tournaments with 13 Black taking home second place!
In Richmond the 15's team had a successful tournament, improving their initial seed and the 16's just dominated going undefeated and winning their division at Monument City!
The 17's traveled to Orlando this year to scope out the MLK Invitational Showcase. They took the challenge of playing in one of the strongest tournaments on the East Coast and won the silver division!
Our 18's team went to Lancaster to play in the MLK Kick-off Classic and dominated. Holding opponents to just 11 points on the first two days of play the 18's were a force to be reckoned with and finished as the tournament champions!
Congratulations to all of our athletes and coaches on a great start to the new season!
MLK Weekend marked the kick-off to the 2012 season. This year is the first year we have implemented a big sister/little sister program and it was put to the test with our teams all over. Our 13's teams both played in local tournaments; the 14-16 teams played in Monument City Classic in Richmond; 17's were at the MLK Invitational Showcase in Orlando and the 18's played in the MLK Kick-off in Lancaster, PA. Our girls rose to the challenge, there was tweeting, texting and mounds of support to and from each team.
While all of our girls did an excellent job supporting their big and little sisters, one girl truly stood out. Rachel Cullen, who as a member of our 13 Blue team played a local tournament in Northern Virginia and then Rachel and her mom drove down to Richmond to support her big sister, Jane Feddersen who was playing in Monument City Classic.
Rachel's sign she made for Jane and her dedication to her big sister must have worked because the 16's won Monument City and both Rachel and Jane were beaming with pride!
Congratulations Rachel!!
