Basketball Chalk Talk

What a weekend!!!!What is basketball without its climax, drama and a nail biting finish! Great jobs North Texas Heat ladies!! All the teams this weekend did great and they all placed in the primetime tournament. Continue the success and GOD BLESS YOU ALL

So we decided to take a much needed vacation and lee decides to bring 2 of the heat to teams with us. Not sure why but he did..Right then and there i know it was more business then fun. While the girls were hanging and enjoying themselves Lee had me go over defensive assigments and offensive plays. He was drilling me until i got it right…….Then i woke up whew man what a dream..lol so the NT HEAT takes their first road trip and boy was it crazy( in a good way). first i want to give a loud SHOUT OUT to GOD because without him none of this would have been possible. Also to the  families who came out to support the HEAT ORGANIZATION down in HTOWN, we couldnt have done it without your suppourt. We got to see the ladies mature on and off the court. They came together so much as a team in those couple of days and it showed as both teams dominated their games. Overall the ladies did a excellent job working and encouraging each other…the combine record was 8-1. Overall experience was great. Looking forward to the next trip go HEAT!!

The Coppell Mavericks represented this weekend in the 3 on 3 tournament @ Coppell high school. The boys played beyond there potential and played outstanding throughout the entire tournament. The Mavs who were put together by Thomas J. Whitaker (Allstate) about 3-4 years ago, have not only been laying low in Coppell but have been winning and staying below the radar until this weekend. Under extensive training by Lee Green (North Texas Heat) as well as a new coaching staff (Reggie Waddell, Mike Gunn, Kyle,and myself). The boys have been dominate in there last couple of tournaments. The Mavs entered 6 teams into the 3 0n 3 tournament 3 teams in the 12 and under bracket and 3 teams in the older bracket. The Mavs came out in full force with a proud following. We would like to thank all those who came out and supported the boys and coaches as they gave their all this weekend. I would like to just touch a couple of exciting things that happened this weekend. Our 7th grade group (who all played up against 8th graders) coached by Reggie placed second in the championship game losing by 1 point. “All the boys wearing Coppell Mavs gear exceeded all of the expectations,”Coach Reggie said. “We had kids who just joined the teams come out and give their all and they all worked as 1 unit.” Even Ryan Storch came out and not only supported his fellow brothers but joined the trenches and played great. My hat goes off to him for even coming out and playing. I would also like to say that the Mavs showed true family spirit by supporting and circling around Ryan in welcoming him back. Also, we had one younger team who made it to the semi-finals. From sleeping giants to roaring beast, Coppell Mavs have definitely earned there respect in the Coppell community as well as surrounding cities. Stayed tuned and watch out for the new sheriff’s in town your COPPELL MAVS!!

Yes that’s right i said it, the best part of the year is finally here. No im not talking about football either. I’m talking about your NORTH TEXAS HEAT ELITE season just started….The young ladies had a great showing in the Sista Hoops Tournament. I want to thank the parents and friends for coming out to support the young ladies. The older group did a awesome job seeing that this was their first time playing together. They jelled faster than we expected and they looked great.They won 2 out of 3 games and lost in the championship game by a few points. The younger team also played this weekend and did great. Even though they rolled out seven players and three of the seven were new to the team they were still victorious winning 2 out of their 3 games. The atmosphere was great and everyone was positive throughout the weekend. Can’t wait for the next tournament. Hope to see you there..
