The Alabama
Energizers combine with the North East Lady Rockets to form the
Alabama Renegades to play in the YBOA National Championship in
Florida. The Renegades won 3rd place making them the 3rd best team in the nation. In pool play
they had 4 Wins and 1 Loss. They won 44 to 41 against Baltimore
Storm, 50 to 18 against Georgia Pistols, and 55 to 33 against North Georgia
Indians. The Renegades one loss came in the final game of pool play against
the North Carolina Stingers. This was a game they should have won, but could
not get their shots to fall.
The above win/loss placed the Renegades as 4th seed in bracket play. They
played their first game against Maryland and won 42 to 28. They advanced on to play against
the
Kentucky Vikings, #1 seed. They were up 5 points against the Vikings and lost Big Baby to a sprained ankle
with 4 minutes left in the game. Till then they had the Vikings on the run,
but ended up loosing to the Vikings 48 to 39. The
loss put them
in the loosing bracket to play for 3rd and/or 4th place against the North Carolina
Stingers. They ended up beating the Stingers this time 33 to 36 for 3rd place.
The Renegades received a team trophy, individual medals, and

had much fun and did not want to come home. The Girls and Coaches
