After this past weekend at Hoopfest we’ve realized that you don’t have to be a guy to be a champion at Weldon. Our 6th grade girls team became bracket champions after a long two days of basketball. The team, Weldon Barber Two, came back and won the championship after falling to the consolation bracket early in the tournament. They actually won the championship by defeating the only team they had lost to earlier. Talk about determination! Their cheer was “Weldon, Weldon, Weldon Barber!”– truly a great cheer, we hope they keep on chanting this one well into their WNBA careers.

All four of our Weldon teams were spectacular. Congrats to all the hardworking players! Team Weldon Barber One: Brian Johnson, Nicklas Marshall, Shamus O’Doherty and Jordan Tampien. Weldon Barber Two: Shafali Byrd, Megan Dean, Megan Nilsson and Jenna Place. Weldon Barber Three: Janson Card, Matte Kondryszyn, Carson Schlect and Daniel Webb. Weldon Barber Four: John Bergeleen, Leon Dean, Stephen Sanchez and David Stratton.

We had a lot of fun this year and were thrilled to support such a great event. If you see any of our Weldon superstars out on the streets or possibly playing some ball, remember to congratulate them for such a great job on the courts!
