Sting did some damage at the Greater Columbus Convention Center with 14 Black and 13 Black both winning their respective age groups in the Club divisions. Not far behind, 16 Black took 2nd in the 16 Club division and 13 Gold took 3rd in the 13 Open division. Here is a little recap of how the Badger Region teams did in the 2018 JVA Summerfest.
Milwaukee Sting 13 Black – 13 Club Division – Finished 1st out of 24
13 Black was “lights out” good this past weekend. They dominated their pool on June 2nd beating Legacy 13-National (25-2, 25-7), CVC 13 Gold (25-3, 25-10), and Black Swamp 131 (25-23, 25-12). Sunday afternoon 13 Black took care of business by beating Niagara Frontier 13 Navy (25-9, 25-22) and Mintonette Sports – m.32 (25-17, 25-15) before taking down Academy 13 Elite Falcons (25-20, 25-21) to win the 13 Club Division. Coach Taylor Edmonds said it was a great showing heading into AAU Nationals, and she says the key to their success was their team culture of never giving up, supporting one another, and having a true “athlete mentality” at the young age of 12 and 13. All 10 players contributed to their run for 1st. Keep your eye out for these young ladies in the 2022 and 2023 classes.
