4/2/06 - The Orange Team won the first championship of their short existence at the Petaluma Shootout this weekend. Coming from 10 points behind in the first quarter against Strictly Hoops in the final game, the girls had to work all the way to the end, eventually winning by three after Maddy Miller banked in the game-sealing basket in the final seconds of the game.
Kady Richardson was awarded MVP honors for her key baskets and huge rebounds throughout the tournament, none bigger than the board in the final moments that led to Maddy Miller's clutch shot. AnnMarie DelBene led the team with veteran poise from the point guard position, regulating the tempo of the game and wowing the crowd with her precision passing. Taya Carter was a human dynamo this weekend, getting her hands on almost every looseball, long rebound and lazy pass in the building. Kathryn Chatman was awarded all-tournament after toughing it out through a barrage of mid-court collisions, to slice apart the defense with quick drives and slice apart the offense with quicker steals. Sarah Larner was very active in each game, getting her hands on multiple rebounds and coming up with some key tips to her teammates when the team was in dire need of a possession. Besides hitting the game-saving shot against Strictly Hoops, Maddy Miller was a force on the offensive glass throughout the tourney. Consistently coming up with offensive put-backs and hitting the freebies when she was sent to the line. It was a great start for Coach Jenny's squad, and the team is more than ready to tackle their next challenge.
March '07 - The spring 2007 Orinda Magic Orange Team has been selected, and the season is officially underway. This team will compete as a 5th grade team under AAU rules.
