Our Waterford Wave 18-under team won the 2010 Michigan AAU State Friendship Tournament in the Open Division. In so doing, they beat some of the best teams and players in the State of Michigan. They won their pool on Saturday and then had to win all four games on Sunday to capture the State title.
They beat the Legion to start things off by 9 points and then beat Mitchell’s Top Ten by one point on a last second basket by Tiffany Coleman. In the semi-finals they took on the Crossover team and once again pulled it out in the closing seconds by one point. In the Championship game, they took on a loaded Motor City Suns team full of Division I recruits and beat them by eight points.
It was an unbelievable effort and achievement. Players included: Desyree Thomas, Sarah Stinson, Abbe Richards, Krista Hakola, Julie Porter, Holly Cooperrider, Stephanie Lock, Tiffany Coleman, Caitlin Cooperrider, and Julia Ramey. Other players on the team not participating this past weekend include: Amy Carlton and Taylor Deskins.
Congratulations and GO WAVE!!
