What an amazing way to end our month-long March Madness Tourney! 76 after school members participated in this month-long tourney, with the Kentucky team, Landon J., Luca G., Wanderson D., Alex R. and Ishmael K. taking 1st place over the Kansas team, Victor V., Ansu D., Ethan D., Gio F. and Ryan A.
We invited all participants to come back to watch the championship game and to participate in a 3-point contest (ages 8-12 & 13-18)! Congrats to Lucas M and Logan S. for winning the younger groups contest! Congrats to Manny V. and Fernando P. for winning the older groups contest! Finally, thank you to all our amazing volunteers and staff who helped this event be such a success all month long!
New this year, the staff thought it would be fun to have a Staff vs. MVP game! Throughout the March Madness games, staff were watching and listening to kids on the teams who were being positive, supportive, encouraging and a great team player. Each staff nominated 1 or 2 kids to participate, which included Antoniyo, Luca, Diego, Javien, Kiaxell and Victor. It was a a close and great game against our staff team, which included Landon, Te’Vaughn, Jen, Jay, Jayden, and Nikko but the staff ended up with the win!
Finally, thank you to Milford TV for filming and working with some of our members to continue to learn about filming and interviews!
