Victory is sweet!

WOW! All of the girls worked very hard and had a lot of fun on their way to three victories in two days. Hudson Lightning reaped the rewards of crisp passing, unselfish play, relentless defense and phenomenal rebounding on both Friday night and all day Saturday. Parents, coaches and each and every one of the girls should be extremely proud of their great team play and tremendous effort.


The Hudson Lightning continues to improve with each and every game.... with every single team member contributing their best effort on every play and outstanding coaching from Matt and Allen there is no telling how great these girls will become. The sky's the limit! Bring on the Lakers, Cavaliers or Magic! ... well, bring on Yorktown anyway!

Island Garden Summer Camps

Island Garden just announced their schedule of summer basketball camps. I think they have nine different weekly sessions from which to choose.

Follow this link if you want to see the schedule and what they are offering.

Woods, Stone and Caroline did a February camp at Island Garden and enjoyed it.

Lightning v Yorkville

Too Many Minutes

This one speaks for itself!

All the kids had a wonderful time today! After working very hard in the first victory some of the girls, family and friends, got a chance to cool off and enjoy some ice cream as well as one another's company. AJ looks resplendent in pink.

They also gave some goats an opportunity to check out a few real farm animals.

Pleasant Day in Pleasantville

The girls battled every minute on both ends of the floor and today it paid-off! Great passing, hardnosed defense, fantastic play from the bench and some unbelievable rebounding led Hudson Lightning to two impressive victories over scrappy, well coached opposition in spite of some questionable officiating.
