Pacific Tourney for the 7th grade

3 Games, 2 days, the Pacific Tourney on Cinco De Mayo

The below write up written and submitted by T. Carter.

Great weekend Uptempo Family! We played against some good competition and had some fun in the sun. We had a slow start but ended on a positive note, taking 3rd place in our pool. Our first game was a nail biter with much excitement in the end. Although we lost by 3 points, we really excelled in the second half scoring 34 of our 50 points. Leading scorers were Ambulkar with 13 and Conner with 12. Our second game was evenly scored per quarter, we kept up an even tempo while tiring them out in the second half.  Gisler leading the team with 17 of our 35 points.  Not our teams best game, but a great learning lesson.
Hearing words of encouragement on day 1.
Now talk about saving the best for last, what a game on Sunday with a win of 49 to 22 against Modesto Blast. We played a great defensive game, allowing most of their points in the first half and shutting them down by end of third quarter. Leading again was Gisler with 16 points, not far behind was Ambulkar with 7 and Conner and Murphy scoring 6 each. As always all three games were played with an Uptempo team spirit, well executed passing and a supportive team attitude, helping and encouraging one another.

Boys not quite ready for a picture...but that's ok.  Surprise!!
