The Celtics 13’s traveled to Clarksville for their AAU Sub-State and had great success. The 13’s blew by every team that they played, overpowering the opposition with aggressive defense, rebounding and fast breaks that are the signature of Coach Vic Wharton’s teams. The 13’s won the championship game on Sunday by 40+ points. The team has great character and outstanding players, including big men Parker Bryan and Yalen Reed, wings Coleman Goodwin, Cyenterius Lyons, and TC Newton, shooting guards Ross Plunkett and Jordan Wilson and the team is glued together by the outstanding play of the Cummings twins from Dickson. The 13’s will advance to the state tournament as a #1 seed.

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010
The Nashville Celtics 13s have enjoyed an outstanding season. They have had a few first place finishes, and if they were not first, they were the runner-up in most tournaments. They came in 2nd in the AAU&YBOA state championship losing to the same Memphis War Eagle team on back to back weekends in two close games that could have went either way. In YBOA, they beat the War Eagles in pool play. This feat is pretty impressive considering the War Eagles are the #1 YBOA team in the nation and they won the 2009 D1 national championships. The Celtics have the AAU nationals coming up Monday June 28th. There will be 96 teams from just about every state in America. They look forward to continuing their success and plan to bring home the title.
Riverdale Results
Wednesday, April 14th, 2010Nashville Celtics 13u team played up in the 14u division at Riverdale Hoops Classic April 9-11. There were 16 teams in the division, and the Celtics finished 1st in pool play. The Celtics won their quarterfinal game against the Music City Lakers and lost a close semifinal game to the Antioch Ballaz resulting in a third place finish. Coach Duke remarked that the team had a strong defensive in a low scoring semifinal game but couldn’t generate enough offense to pull out the victory. Although the team wanted to win it all and could have, it was beneficial to play up and get some good competition that will better prepare the team for this weekend when they go to the Real Deal in The Rock in Little Rock, Arkansas.
