NAYBA Christmas Tournament - Atlanta Select 16u WHITE  Coach "AC" Christopher gathered Atlanta Select players from several Atlanta Select teams during the Holiday break and nearly won a championship. They lost in the championship game in the 17u bracket after playing back to back games. These young men represented the organization extremely well. We thanks all the Atlanta Select teams that participated in the tournament, the 16u Boys Team WHITE, 16u Boys Team BLACK and the 11u Boys Team SILVER who finished second in their age bracket. Two trophies earned during this tournament. Congratulations to all. Go Select. Happy NEW Year.

NAYBA Christmas Tournament - 16u Atlanta Select BLACK  Coach Walker fielded a strong Atlanta Select team in the 16u/17u bracket of the NAYBA Christmas tournament. The organization can be justifiably proud of the play of these young men. Stellar shooting performances were given by John Tinch from Stephenson HS and DeAndre Mack from Wesleyan HS. Desmond Noird and Raymond Robinson, both of Chamblee HS, lead the rebounding effort. We know that all of these young men will have a great new year on the basketball court. Thanks for your outstanding representation. Go Select. Happy NEW YEAR.

Home for the Holidays  Atlanta Select Coach John Hardy was home for Christmas, the first time in 5 years. He served in the Air Force for 3 1/2 years with an assignment in Iraq. For the last year and a half he has been a DOD contractor serving as a Morale, Welfare, Recreation (MWR) supervisor in Qatar and Afghanistan. He is currently responsible for providing free and discounted recreational services (Rec Centers, USO shows. etc.) to military personnel at several locations in Afghanistan.
He became a coach for Atlanta Select in the Fall of 2009 with the goal of establishing a team in the Kennesaw area. Prior to Christmas of 2009 he accepted an assignment in Qatar and has been overseas ever since. He is happy to be home to visit his family (to include his two young sons) this holiday season before returning to Afghanistan.
Coach Hardy is planning to be back in the states by next Christmas and preparing to lead an Atlanta Select Boys Platinum team. We appreciate his valuable service he is providing our forces in the war zone and pray for his safe return next year.

Congratulations to Bakari Copeland for his contributions to the HISTORY MAKING win as the ARABIA MOUNTAIN RAMS defeated Cedar Grove H.S.
Bakari Copeland contributed 20pts, and was the game's high scorer giving the Arabia Mountain rams JV team their first win in the new school's history. Mr. Copeland was also highly effective defensively as Cedar Grove's # 23 was putting up the points for them in the 1st quarter. Arabia Mountain's JV head coach Campbell made the decision to put Bakari on C.G.'s # 23 and Bakari shut him down putting an end to 23's offensive contribution.
The win was history making as the RAMS were winless last year, but with the new head coaching staff and aggressive play from the players (old & new)I'm looking forward to more exciting wins such as this defeat vs. Cedar Grove.
Good work Mr. Copeland
