This weekends tournaments were tough for the NH Gym Rats. In the Northern New England SuperCup, all three teams: Coach Buffum, Coach Maiella, and Coach LaClair finished with 1-2 records. Coach LaClair’s and Maiella’s teams competed against the top two teams in their pool. At the Boston Breakout Team Massiah also battled the two top teams in their pool (LCRI and Mohawk Pride) leaving the tournament with a 0-3 finish.
Coach Switzer’s Wrap-up

In the same tournament, the NH Gym Rats 8th Grade Girls team traveled to the South Shore for a tough Boston Breakout tournament and faced the eventual tourney finalist, Evolution, for their first game. Four of The Evolution’s girls could hit from the deep, stretching the Gym Rats defense as well as two post-players who dominated the inside. The girls kept the game close, down only 10 by half-time. However the strength of the Evolution complied with the struggling Gym rats offense and defense allowing the opposing team to march away with a 24 point win.
