The quote, "If you don't know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else," sounds as though it was written for a lot of basketball players.

Coach Ray is in his fifth summer of intense summer workouts that will prepare players for their upcoming basketball seasons.

Ladies,

What a great weekend of skill development, strength and conditioning and spiritual and inspirational growth. Thank you to each of you for you hard work and willingness to learn. Thank you for opening your hearts to knowledge and guidance. I can not thank you enough for all of these things. Continue to work hard. Remember, that activity does not equal success. You have to work on the correct things and take care of the details and the small things. Be better, get better, learn better! Congratulations to each of you for finishing a very hard weekend. 

Utah Flight for Life!

Much Love from your East Coast Sister,

The Utah Flight Premier Black started their tournament off right with a win over the Sting Rays of Staten Island, 53-49.

The first 10 minute of the game was a seesaw battle, both teams jockeying for position.  We started taking the reins of the game just before halftime.

What an amazing experience for our Utah Flight girls, to be the first team from Utah to attend  the prestigious Boo Williams Nike Invitational.  The girls worked hard to prepare for this tournament, practiced diligently, and came ready to play.

Upon arrival in Virginia, it was obvious we weren't in Utah anymore!
