2010 Christmas Tournament Champs!!

The Thatcher Eagles pulled off an amazing win over the Safford Bulldogs to win the 2010 EAC Christmas Holiday Basketball Tournament on 12-29-10. It was a tight game with Safford in the lead most of the game. The Eagles were down by 6 at the half and came back to take the lead during the 3rd quarter. The fourth quarter was crazy....finally Thatcher was ahead by 1 with one minute left in the game. Koby was 6 for 6 from the free throw line during that last minute of play and Thatcher ended up winning the game by 6. WOW! It was intense but it's the kind of game everyone was hoping for. It's really too bad there had to be a loser because they all played their hearts out. But the EAGLES will gladly take the win and the trophy. It was a great night!

Here are some more pictures of Koby in action.....one thing that is really cool...Koby has grown up playing all sports with the kids on the Safford team and he has been able to stay good friends with them. They play hard against each other, but when it's all over...they are friends first. I think that is amazing and make me so happy and proud.
