"Diamonds on 3 - Family on 6"

July 10 -12, 2014 - Nike Invitational in Chicago, IL

The Diamonds traveled to Chicago to undertake great competition from all over the USA. With over 450 teams and nearly 540 colleges & universities in attendance, Diamonds embraced a real basketball experience. Playing up in the 15U Division, we played teams from Cali, Illinois, Wisconsin, New York, and Texas.

We finished 3-2 with a 51-52 loss against a very talented Cali Swiss National team and a loss against NY iExcel team who was probably the best team we've faced since we began. We trailed by 3 @ halftime, and we weren't able to take the lead. What we learned from this experience is "we can compete with anyone". Great Job in Chicago Diamonds!

Sat, June 28, 2014 - Raising funds for the Nike Invitational in Chicago, IL.

Today was a very hot day for a car wash fundraiser, but it didn't hinder the Diamonds' from working hard.

It was a joint effort by players, parents, siblings, and coaches.
