BOMBETTS MAKE IT TO AAU MAINE STATE FINALS

April 30, 2008

The Bombetts made it to the state finals before losing 31-23 to a very talented Firecracker team.

The Bombetts are made up mostly of Windham and Lake Region players and are coached by Windham residents; Mike Russell and Stacy Batchelder.

The team has been playing together for about two months and practices twice a week at Manchester School in Windham.

Coach Russell said, "The girls played hard and did everything we asked them to do. They stuck to the game plan and even though we lost, the girls made us proud for the way they handled themselves in defeat. Nobody left with there head hanging low, they felt good about their effort as did the coaches. We don't just teach basketball with the Bombetts we teach the girls to be positive no matter what the situation is and to support there teammate when they are down. In order to have fun in any sport you have to love what you do and it is very clear that these girls love what they do and that makes it that much easier."

The Firecracker team is made up of mostly Falmouth and Scarborough players.

Congratulations to both teams for a great run in the tournament.
