smooth guard who makes all the plays. Small stature, but not shy about doing
dirty work. Comes up with rebounds and loose balls players her size don’t
usually get. Tight handle and superb at using fakes on shots and passes. Can
get her points in the lane or from the perimeter. Real good finisher.

What Clubs said about the Pocono Invitational
Everything ran fine and us at the Lady Liners were delighted
with the sites, referees, and the overall running of the tournament. You
guys do an outstanding job and we look forward to seeing you at another
tournament. Thanks, Russ Viscomi, Jay Yarnell, Megan Haughey The Lady Liners
You ran a great tournament and worked the schedule very well. Of the 4
games we played: one game we won by 10pts and one game we lost by 10 pts,
the other two games were decided by 2pts and 1pt. You matched us up
very well against teams that were at our level of competition.
Thank you. Regards, Brian Schreder, Saucon Valley AAU
Thank you very much for all of the work it must have taken to pull off a
very well organized tournament. I have spoken with all of the coaches from
our Great Valley Girls Basketball program that were involved this past
weekend as well as several parents who attended. All seemed pleased with the
event, facilities, competition, officiating, etc. I will definitely
recommend any NEPA events to our teams as well as others in our area in the
future. Thanks again! Keith Walsh GVBL Director
Tournament was well run. Great job. Paul Brutto 12U is Little Fillies Blue,
14U Little Fillies Gold, 16U Little Fillies White.
Middle Atlantic Championship / National Qualifier
On behalf of myself, our girls, and our
parents, "Thank You" and your staff for all their hard work this past
weekend as we participated in your 17-U girls Mid-Atlantic Basketball
Championships at Hoop City. I have been bringing my girls to Hoop City
for the past three or so years and each time our experience is great.
Everyone is courteous and attentive to our needs. From all my years
coaching girls basketball I certainly know just how much hard work goes into
running an event like you do. All too often you never hear kind words but
rather complaints. We just wanted to give your group "Kudos" for a job well
done. Since this is my 17-under group I suspect that next year I will
be starting all over again and coach the little ones. The good news is that
if I do I will certainly bring them back to participate in your events.
I'm looking forward to many more years of a good working relationship with
you.
Thanks again. Rick Sacidor Coach Far Northeast Philadelphia FIRE
