Summer Update
Intrepid 2006 (Rising Seniors) just completed its summer schedule.
The team consisted of 22 players from 14 different high schools:
Seneca Valley
Peters Township
Fox Chapel
North Hills
Mt. Lebanon
Franklin Regional
Upper St. Clair
Baldwin
Pine Richland
Morgantown
North Allegheny
Seton-La Salle
Quaker Valley
Sewickley Academy
We participated in three tournaments against
some of the best competition in the country:
- National Draw in
Southern New Jersey
- Upper Atlantic outside Philadelphia, PA
- All Star Express outside Annapolis, MD
The team came together quickly and played well at the National
Draw just missing the playoffs. We were disappointed
we didn’t
make the playoffs but very satisfied with our 2-2 record.
We had a learning experience at the Upper Atlantic Tournament.
We played several of the best teams in the nation and
while we competed physically, we struggled keeping up skill wise.
The team worked very hard in practice following that
tournament and when we arrived at All Star Express we were much improved
and ready to play. We played 8 games, seven in one day,
on a very hot Maryland weekend and performed well. The All Star
Express is a recruiting tournament not a competitive
one. The objective was to make college coaches take notice and
we did just that. The team played hard, with heart and
we were in every game. We accomplished out goal of impressing
college coaches.
The summer was extremely successful for the 2006 team. We now
have our sites set on recruiting tournaments in October and November.
