North Philly Aztecs Basketball
Where Legends Are Born !!!
The Aztecs are handling business in Springfield. 1/16/10-1/18/10
Day 3
First up on this MLK day was Coach Nette and Aaron's 13U squad. They would face a tough and scrappy OLSH. But Tec was just too much inside. Devin Liggeons, TROY SMITH, and new to the team Emmanual "Big Manny" Taylor dominated the front court on both sides of the ball. OLSH would make a run, but too little. Aztecs take the championship.
The bar was set by their little brothers, so Aztecs 14U knew they had to win the chip. But NE Playerz wasn't bout to just hand it over. Even with Mr. Robinson snatching every rebound within his wingspan and him gliding to the rim, Playerz were not rattled. They even had a 1 point lead with 11 seconds in first half. But a late 3 pointer from Khyree Hawkins put the Tec up and they never looked back. Big man Jihad Gardner, Josh Mile, and Big Manny Taylor went to work. Opening the game up in the second half, the 14U would make it 2 for 2 in championship games.
Day 2
The Aztecs kept the ball rolling with both teams winning in the final four. The Tec came to Springfield for a business trip and they are doing just that, taking care of business.
Day 1
Both Aztecs teams are taking care of business. Tec's 13U was up first and boyy did they hold Philly down. With a 74-25 win, everybody realized the Tec was in the building. The second game was a little sloppy, for a team looking a little bit tired from the long day but had just enough to get the win.
The 14U Tec had a very strong showing also. Winning their first game by 20. Their second game was the last game of the night, and after a long day they still jumped out to a 12-0 lead. They played a very talented NE Playerz team. The Playerz's made runs at the Tec all night but the Tec guards were too strong. Aztecs win by 8.Aztecs are on their way to Birth Place of Basketball. SPRINGFIELD, MA
THE TECS 13u & 14u ARE HEADED TO SPRINGFIELD, MA FOR THE JR. HOOPHALL CLASSIC. THE TEAMS ARE FOCUSED AND LOOKING FORWARD TO WINNING THE WHOLE TOURNAMENT. BUT ALSO MUST STOP IN THE BASKETBALL HALL OF FAME TO CHECK OUT ITS NEW INDUCTIES. MIKE IS IN THE BUILDING. SO WHEN WE COME BACK HOME, WE WANT TO BRING BACK TROPHIES AND A LIFETIME MEMORY.
Championship Game Recap.
As a basketball fan, this championship game was all you could ask for. The top two teams all year long would face of in the 13U championship game. Even though Aztecs took the regular season win to remain unbeaten for the season, Coach Black would have his troops, ready for war. And from the tip off Hood took control of this game. Lead by Shawn (14pts) looking to be aggressive forcing the issue and Sam (13pts) attacking the paint area, put Aztecs in foul trouble early. Zakee (10) return to give the Hood a boost and Nafis (10pts) did his part to help Hood to a 17 point first half lead. But this game would be the tail of two halves. Just as the Hood owned the first the Aztecs would own the second. After a fired up halftime, well we will just call it a pep talk from Coach Nette & Aaron, the troops responded. And nobody got the message louder then Troy (15pts & 10rebs). Troy refusing to let his team lose came out scoring 7 strait second half points. Also joining this comeback party was Devin (12pts & 10rebs) and Andre (11pts). Aztecs turned the defense up to suffocation and the Hood did just that. All Coach Black could do was watch his lead shrink and disappear as the Aztecs pull off the biggest comeback of the year, to remain unbeaten and most importantly Future Legends League 13U champs. Congratulations to all the player and coaches on both team for a great game and year.

That's 2 Aztecs are 12U Feltonville League Champs
That makes 2 Championships and counting between the two Aztecs 12U. The Aztecs coached by Coach Charles and Coach Kareem, had to hold off a beefed up Zieler team. Zieler added a couple new faces to the roster, but still was no match for the Tec. Lead by the game co MVPs Charles Presley and Quiazee Johnson. Charles dictated the game from the start, getting inside the paint, creating for himself and others. Down the strech was all Quad big shot after big shot, putting the nail in the coffin. Khyree Hawkins kept the floor spaced out by hitting 3 threes, while Jamar Brisbon and Matt Dever was working out in the paint.

Liberty League Champs
The Aztecs 12U coached by Coach Nette held off the Rockets to become the 12U Liberty league champions. The D dictated the game. Aztecs didn't give up a single point in the first 8 minutes of the game. Lead by game MVP Mike Z, who dominated the paint on both ends of the court with 5 block shots and lead the team in scoring with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Also with #3 Jahid and Najee penatrating, they lived in the paint all day. #15 Chester slashing and finishing in the lane, Maadi aka H3 dropping dimes and Stevie launching from long range, you better believe this is just the first of more championships to come.
