Junior Magic league Cancelled

SPECIAL BULLETIN TO ALL PLAYERS AND PARENTS

TBI will like to inform all parents and players that we will officially be cancelling the Junior Magic League that was supposed to take place in December. Although this is a shock to most of you it is a definite sign that TBI is moving in the right direction and growing as an organization. During the last few weeks we have been able to recruit numerous players and continue to gain interest from potential players and parents for the 2013 season. For that reason we have decided that the 8 game Junior Magic League will not help in the development of our players. We believe the right course of action is to continue to hold training and conditioning three days per week so our players can get in better athletic conditioning. Furthermore, it will give our players the opportunity to improve on their skills and fundamentals. Our coaches will have more time to teach the game of basketball instead of coaching Junior Magic and heading right into tournament season.

DO NOT TAKE THIS A BAD NEWS; WE ARE DOING WHAT IS RIGHT FOR OUR PLAYERS.

In leui of the Junior Magic Season, this is what we will do as an organization:

1. Continue to hold Training and Conditioning 3 times per week (check weekly schedule for location + times). It is critical to the development of our players and teams that we have maximum participation from existing and new TBI players. We will use this time to work on individual player development, skills and fundamentals.


2. Coaches will be scheduling team practices at least 1 time per week. Individual team practices will be in addition to the Strength and Conditioning schedule. Please check with your head coach for further guidance.


3. The cancellation of the Junior Magic Season will also give us some additional time to begin to fundraise and get ready for the 2013 tournament season.

Thank you for your understanding and we are looking forward to an amazing 2013 season.

God Bless!

Hillsborough County Girls Basketball Championship TONIGHT

Roland Park Middle School and Tomlin Middle School advance to the Hillsborough County Championship game tonight at 6:00 PM at Memorial Middle School.  This is a rematch form last years final.  Last year Tomlin outplayed and out hustled a young Roland Park team.  This year Tomlin will be facing a team stacked with talent and experienced.  Roland Park's Mia Blocker, Rachel Hagens and Alise Davis spent the entire year working on their game.  In addition, Mia, Rachel and Alise played approximately 70 competative AAU, USSSA and YBOA games this year.  The game experienced these girls earned with the Tampa Bay Inferno is priceless.  They will get their shot at Tomlin Middle School tonight at 6:00 PM at Memorial Middle School.

Alise Davis, Mia Blocker and Rachel Hagens pose for the camera minutes before their semi-final game against Randall Middle School.

TOMLIN, RANDALL, YOUNG AND ROLAND PARK ADVANCE TO COUNTY SEMI-FINALS

Tomlin Middle School is on a mission to win back to back Hillsborough County Championships as they defeat Farnell Middle School in the first round and move on to play a well rested Young Middle School team.  Young is featured by a new Inferno player 6th grader Greta Louk.  Welcome to TBI Greta!  Let's see what you can do to dethrone the defending County Champions.

Randall Middle School took care of business against Liberty Middle School and Roland Park showed their experience as they defeat Williams Middle School.  That leads to today's semi final match up of Randall vs. Roland Park.  Roland Park is stacked with Inferno players and Randall is stack with East Tampa Thunder talent.  This will be a great match up but I'm picking Roland Park to win by 10. Rachel Hagens, Mia Blocker and Alise Davis will have something to prove tonight as they are eager to get a rematch with Tomlin in the finals tomorrow.

Good luck to all and may the best teams face off in the Hillsborough County Championship tomorrow at 6:00 PM at Memorial Middle School.
