Beat Boo Williams Elite at Nike Summer Slam (NJ)
been following the AAU much this season. Only have seen a few tournys. But Slater's team is the best AAU team, nobody ever heard of. They are not the most talented team by any means. But they are one of the best coached teams on the circuit. And they won't be outworked. They lost a close game to Philadelphia Belles (Lynch) in the finals of USJN 15's last year. Last week they were runnerup at Penn State. This week they took Boo Williams at Summer Slam. Exodus and Silver Bullet Elite 15. Get most of the press and accoliades out of NY. But Lightning Slater is the best team in NY.

It sounds like Lightning (Slater) is a 16 U team. Are there any player names you can mention from the team ?
pleasure. Not much going on with the other board. I didn't get to do my yearly rant. I was bumming!!!!!!!! Yes. Slater is a 16 yr old team. The center is a Junior (McKenna) playing up. It seems that she will be playing next year with Lightning Lipani 15. Who has a pretty good team. You are probably familiar with them. As for Slater, not that familiar with all the names. Best players seem to be Michelle Kurowski(Hicksville) and Janine Aldridge?(Massapequa). Aldridge is going to some D1 school. Not sure of which one. It looks like they have 2 or 3 D1 players. From what i'm told they had another D1 player (Cavallo) who blew her ACL out during the HS season. Extremely fundamentally sound team. Well coached. Kids play within themselves. They run some killer sets. This allows them to play with the more talented teams. Who aren't as well coached.
