2010-2011
Our 2010-2011 season, our third together, completed with our participation in the Division 1 AAU National Championship in Cocoa Beach, FL. We barely missed finishing in the top half of all competing D-1 teams, coming short by just FOUR points in a three-way tie in our pool. We played some of the best teams in the country. Highlights include a win against a top Puerto Rico team that has been a perennial contender at Nationals since 8U/2nd grade, a close loss to our friends and local rivals the Maryland Hawks (who went on to the Sweet 16), and a tough loss against the Texas Celtics, who ended up finishing #3 in the nation.

Other season highlights included a championship trophy in the prestigious Maryland Invitation Tournament (M.I.T.), a ten-point victory against eventual Final Four finishers the Riverside Hawks, and a buzzer-beater loss in the championship game at the Harrisburg AAU Super Regional.


2009-2010
Our 2009-2010 season completed with our participation in the Division 1 AAU National Championship in Detroit. We finished in 26th place among the 44 teams who qualified to compete at D-1. We made it to the Final Four of the Classic Bracket in the tournament. Because of our success in the tournament, we were one of the 16 teams who received medals, and an automatic bid to participate in following year's 2011 11U National Championship in Cocoa Beach, Florida.

We played 131 games this season, which was our second season playing together, building upon a winning first year. Our record in the first season was 16-15, our record in the second season was 85-46.

In the spring of 2010, we won the AAU Super Regional Tournament in Harrisburg. We made it to the Maryland Division 1 district championship game, twice defeating a tough WPC Elite team that had medaled in last year's National Championships in Orlando. We lost in the title game, played at Morgan State University, to the #11 team in the nation, the Maryland Sports Scholars, by a score of 26-14. This qualified us to play at the 2010 Division 1 National Championships.
