Haven Prepares for First Tournament

We went into this week working hard in practice to get ready for our first tournament. This weekend we are heading down to West Virginia for the Shepherd Tournament. We will play Pace, Bowie State, Barry, and Shepherd. Our team worked very hard to get the best options that will help us compete and win when it counts. We have put in the hours on and off the court from practicing, watching film, and watching a motivational movie. We have been waiting for this moment and we are very excited to finally compete against other teams for a tallied win!
