Texas Basketball Inc’s Pre Christmas Warm Up Tourny
Lake Travis wins on buzzer beater!
Great early season competition. Props to the young Lake Travis team for hanging in there and competing hard while learning the game from Coach Lance Carter. The three 6th grade groups were evenly matched. The championship game saw Lake Travis come from 12 points down with only a few minutes to play to win at the buzzer v. Westlake Hoops in the championship and avenge their pool play defeat.
From Top To Bottom:
It’s time to take a break from high school ball (for a few hours) and give some pub to the young bucks coming up. We’re hosting a small 5/6th grade boys tourny at Akins HS today and wanted to take a minute to give props to the little ballers. Before I go on though, let’s make sure that we keep this in perspective and not get big heads. There’s a lot of work ahead, be humble, take care of your grades and respect your parents and the beautiful game of basketball. 
Lake Travis Select is a program that does a great job of instilling the fundamentals in the youngsters. Program Director Lance Carter played his D-1 ball at Mercer University in Georgia and also doubles as a coach of one of the Texas D-1 Ambassadors high school groups during the summer. It’s a joy to watch his littlest new crew do the simple things such as passing and cutting away from the ball. If parents of young players have patience, Lance will instill/reinforce a lifelong love of the game in their kids.
