<p><strong>&nbsp;CJ Washington</strong> and<strong> Shaun Thomas</strong> did the majority of the scoring as the Warriors capped a perfect tournament with a 40-38 overtime victory over the <strong>CG Wolves</strong> in the 12U championship game.  The 12U Warriors - Holt (6-0) captured their first championship with their first trip ever to the Super 60.</p>
<p>They have this little swagger, they just go out there and play hard and win. They are very capable of winning big in July if they keep playing how they're are playing.</p>
<p><strong>Jamal Bienemy</strong> made a lay-up with 18 seconds left to pass its toughest test for their second victory over the CG Wolves this season.  <strong>Noah Thomas'</strong> three in regulation cut the lead to two and it put the Wolves winning streak in jeporadry.</p>
<p>The team struggled early but a second half defensive effort along with a better rebounding game by CJ Washington and <strong>Jhamon Ausbon</strong>, chipped away at what the Wolves did in the first half. <strong>Eden Holt</strong> took control of the tempo on the offensive side to put the Warriors in position to win the game.</p>
<blockquote>"The one thing you have to love about this team is their disposition on the floor. No its not arrogance or cockienss, but its the focus that goes into winning on this level. They believe!"</blockquote>
<p><strong>Warriors Game Notes:</strong></p>
<p>&gt; Jamal Bienney made layup to win game with 18 seconds left in overtime</p>
<p>&gt; Top two scorers were CJ Washinton and Shaun Thomas</p>
<p>&gt; largest deficit of the game was 10 points</p>
<p>&gt; Warriors tied game with 30 seconds left in regulation</p>

It is the Warriors "WE BELIEVE" movement that helped the Warriors secure its 49-27 victory over the storied organziation, <strong>Team Izod</strong> in the <strong>NOLA Primetime Super 60 </strong>Final Four on this Memorial Monday.</p>
<p>The starting five led the way with a solid defensive effort that limited the explosive Team Izod to a miserable morning. The Warriors reserves added to the misery by keeping up the same defensive pressure.</p>
<p>It was the Warrior's defense that won this game, suffocating Team Izod with size in the interior and athleticism. The Warriors had some key steals and forced many turnovers, and limited IZOD to a miserable a low percentage shooting from the field.</p>
<p>With the win, Coach Lamar Holt's Warriors will face off in the 12U Gold bracket championship game against the <strong>CG Wolves</strong>, a familiar powerhouse from North Texas at 1pm.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.rytesbasketball.net/on-the-block/rss-comments-entry-16473187.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>9u Lawrence goes 1-1 and 12U Holt goes undefeated in pool play in the NOLA Primetime Super 60</title><dc:creator>Warriors Media</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 27 May 2012 04:15:17 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.rytesbasketball.net/on-the-block/2012/5/26/9u-lawrence-goes-1-1-and-12u-holt-goes-undefeated-in-pool-pl.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">749487:8792178:16459763</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Coach Lawrence</strong> and comes out in pool play with a victory against <strong>New Orleans Jazz</strong> 35-27 and a lost versus the <strong>Memphis War Eagles</strong> 26-24 to have them sitting at 1-1 going into bracket play on Sunday.

Coach Lawrence is having an outstanding season and at this will be a good test for them before the Southwest Nationals.</p>
