GREAT JOB 7th Grade Girls!!!

07 Winter Jam Champions

The 7th grade girls really step up their focus after lossing their first game by one point after being up by twenty. This in addition to playing the entire tournament with only five players and at times with four players on the floor. The girls showed great composure under grulling curcumstances throughout braket play. They end the tournament by defeating a tough Riverside team in the championship.




CONGRATS to our 8th Grade Girls

Rotary's MLK Tournament



The girls went undefeated in the tournament until the Championship game where they fell to the host team Lady Style by 8. It was a back and forth game that was expected from these two teams. Congrats to the girls of the Rotary Style for their championship win. You represented your tournament well. Thanks for inviting our team!

GREAT Tournament!!!




Great job Jordan!




Our 6th grader, Jordan, who played in the Riverside tournament in the 8th grade division was elected to the All-Tournament team. This was a wonderfull accomplishment due to the fact that she has been going through guard training for the ast 3-4 months after playing post for previous teams. Jordan was very instrimental in an overtime victory where she hit two key baskets at the end of the game to take them into overtime. CONGRATS to a job well done and transitoning well to your new position. Continue training hard!

CONGRATS! to SBBA teams...



JD Hillis Tournament Succuess

JV Boys Champpions: SBBA

8th Grade Girls 2nd Place: SBBA



This tournament was fill with some of the top talent in the south Puget Sound area. The SB 9th grade boys play in their first tournament of their existance. After months of training and practice the player took to the court to test the results of their hard work. Their first game resulted in a four point loss with a deplited roster. The next game the team came in at full strength and beat one of the southend teams which got them into the semi-final game. The next day they were up against a talented and well coached Puyallup Kights team. The game was well played and went back and forth most of the game with the SB boys coming out on top putting them into the championship game. The championship game wass played against the same team that had defeated SB in the first game, Tacoma Fire. Our boys came in very focused and took an early 12 point lead. After a few adjustment the score tightened to five points by halftime. The second have was a battle of the heart with the score changing like traffic lights. At the end it was SB taking the championship by one. All of our players should be very proud of how far they have come in such a short period of time.


The SB 8th grade girls played a great tournament winning when they needed to to get to the championship. In the first three minutes of the championship game one of their key players sprain an ankle and was out for the game. Other players did their best to step up and fill in the gaps where needed. But in the end it was a championship loss that resulted in 2nd place. Hats off to the team for their effort to fight when the odds were against them.

Overall, it was a great weekend in tacoma for the SBBA organization. GREAT JOB!!!

Holiday Hoops Tournament
7th Boys Champions: SBBA








The SB 7th grade boys played in the 2nd event of their team existance. After an eye openning first tournament gave the boys something to fall back on for this tournament. They took that into this one day event and fought tooth and nail through four tough games to get into the championship game. Coach dustin said, "The boys showed a ton of heart in the tournament that spilled over into the chamionship game". Though trailing in the championship game the boys dug in and battled for their first tournament victory. SBBA would like to commend this team for their efforts in practice and training to prepare for this success.
