The Lady Eagles: Lake Tahoe 2010
The girl's basketball summer program came to an end as they traveled to the South Lake Tahoe Basketball Jamboree for the seventh straight year. The team stayed in an excellent "cabin" that accommodated the entire team (10 players), the Coach and Mrs. Coach, many of the parents. With excellent meals and good company the team, parents, and coach had a very positive bonding experience:-). The girls played well, ending the five day trip with 5 wins and 3 losses. The girls arrived on Tuesday and had two pre-tournament games on Wednesday beating Lynbook of San Jose, a team returning 3 of its top five scorers from the 2010 season. Next the girls played White Pine of Ely, Nevada and won again. On Tuesday the team lost to Redmond, OR and to Carondelet. The Carondelet team took 2nd in the California Division 2 State Tournament last year and was ranked 8th in the state in all divisions. They are returning almost their entire 2009-2010 team. Friday the girls entered the consolation tournament and proceeded to win the rest of their games. The first team they faced was CSD (California School of the Deaf) and were surprised to find out that special needs does not mean an easy win as the CSD Eagles were semi-finalist in last year's North Coast Section tournament. The Lady-Eagles battled through poor shooting and a very speedy team to eventually win 36-32. The second game of the day was against the host South Tahoe Vikings, a Nevada Division 4A school, which is like California's largest division, but would have a hard time having a winning record in the Southern League. The girl's jumped all over the Vikings and ended with a 54-23 win. The final day of the tournament TC played Alhambra of Martinez and won 50-39.

The trip also include plenty of shopping at the very large outdoor mall in South Lake Tahoe, a trip to Zepher Cove for swimming in the lake and tanning on the beach, (I missed that part of the trip, having come up on Thursday, and thus no one had to endure the "Zulkster" in a swim suit;-) and the team's traditional dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe in State Line, Nevada.
Coach Edwin received a much needed gift from the seniors
