ATX 5^th recognized with article and picture in August 17 issue of Pflugerville Pflag

Pflugerville, TX--The ATX 11U team was recognized in the most recent edition of the Pflugerville Pflag, a local community newspaper that is published weekly and distributed to both Pflugerville and Austin residents. The periodical brought attention to the great season that the boys conclude this past spring and summer, finishing with a final record of 35-18 which included four tournament championships and a runner-up position in another. The article also mentioned the fact that the team played “up” in the summer HoopZone 6^th grade league yet they still managed to have a strong showing, posting a 5-1 record and finishing in second place. This was a great gesture made on behalf of the coaches, players, and parents to be recognized in this manner. Go ATX!

ATX 5^th conclude Spring/Summer 2006 season with final record of 35-18

Pflugerville, TX--The ATX 11U team conclude the current Spring/Summer season with a final record of 35-18 which included four tournament championships and a runner-up position in another. The players and parents all had a great time and most are already eagerly anticipating next season. This team will take a brief break from basketball during the FALL season (August-October) to allow the boys to all get accustomed and acclimated to middle school. Coach King will conduct TRYOUTS toward the end of October for the new 6^th grade team with the thoughts of possibly expanding the roster to eleven or twelve players. It is anticipated that the majority of the 5^th grade team will return and reconvene in October to begin competing in an OPEN/SELECT league either in Cedar Park or Austin. Those new players who may be interested in earning a spot on the upcoming squad should contact Coach King directly in early September.

ATX 11U reach the Quarter Century Mark with 25 wins

Pflugerville, TX--The ATX 5th grade team achieved a milestone this past weekend by reaching the 25 win mark for the current Spring/Summer season. This young team, that was originally formed just this past March, has managed to win three out of the eight tournaments in which they have played as well as placing second in a fourth tournament. Most of these youngsters had never been exposed to this level of competition prior to joining ATX so both the players and parents should really be proud for what they have accomplished during this short time. Next up for these young boys is a visit to the Alamo City during the July 1st weekend. The team hopes to conclude the current season with a trip to Waco on July 14th.
