2018 7th Grade New Years Bash

Championship Sunday saw the Gauchos New Years Bash come to an end with a Bang! The Jersey City Boys and Girls club provided the fireworks to close out a very competitive and exciting Tournament.

First Jersey City fought from behind to force an overtime win over the Hill Toppers in the semi-final game.

Then when you thought they didn’t have anything left in the tank they pushed the home team Gauchos to the brink of another over time.  The Gauchos maintained the lead throughout the game but Jersey City never stopped fighting.  They even had a 2 point lead when they fouled our John Fland aka Booggie with 1.7 left on the clock.  Boogie went to the line to make 2 of 3 shots to tie the score.  It looked as if we were going to overtime.  But an inbound pass to Niko of Jersey City and a heave from ¾ court sent the crowd into a frenzy and the Gauchos home in second place.

We offer a special thanks to Coach Dante and CJ for putting on a competitive and entertaining tournament.  Also, much love to all of our volunteers who worked behind the scenes to make this an enjoyable and safe experience for our friends and family.
