Shelby and Adrianna had their first AAU tournament this weekend with the Northern Lights team out of Duluth. The tournament was held in St. Cloud and put on by the Comets AAU group.
There were eight teams and the girls ended up taking third place against some good competition. They won their first game against the Minneapolis Lady Lakers by 30 points, then lost to the MN Stars team by about 15, then beat an X-Factor team by 4 points to take third place.
They had 10 girls for the two games on Saturday evening and 8 girls for Sundays early game...Shelby and Andi were not too thrilled about the 8:00 am game, but they were troopers and were glad to be able to get on the road sooner.
I forgot my camera in the room the first night so only got a few pictures of the last game....don't know why I like the one picture with the girl in the way and Shelby in the background, but I do!
Shelby's 17th birthday was Sunday also and she got to see one of the best friends she's made through AAU ball at the tournament so she was thrilled about that! Their birthdays are one day apart so Chelsea's birthday was on Monday....here's are picture of the two acting like they've never been apart....they are so much alike it is scary!
Fun tournament and Shelby said she loved playing point guard again...got to play with one of the girls from the Wrenshall team that beat Bigfork in the section championship game and another girl that is on their rival team, Deer River. Everyone played well together and got along great! That's what I love about AAU!
