THE THIRD ANNUAL PAY IT 4WARD SUMMER CLASSIC PROMISED
to be the must-see basketball tournament of the year.
And it didn't disappoint.
Two-time victors Metro San Jose weren't just aiming to remain the undisputed champions, they were trying to pull off basketball's Hat-trick—the coveted 3-peat. It's rarefied air breathed in by only The Celtics, The Lakers, and The Bulls before them, and these ladies wanted to dunk with the greats.
But 9 other teams stood between them and their goal.
SANTA TERESA, LELAND, and EVERGREEN had laced up and come to play, SILVER CREEK, MISSION SAN JOSE, and NOTRE DAME BELMONT were in it to win it, and CUPERTINO, MILLS, and LOS GATOS weren't going down without a fight.
They all had their sights set on being the new #QueensOfTheCourt.
But METRO SAN JOSE had a title to defend.
For pride. For honor. For
GREATNESS...
It would take skill. It would take discipline. It would take grit.
And after three days of pulse-pounding play, three days of heart and hustle,
the winners were...
METRO SAN JOSE!!
CONGRATULATIONS on your victory, and on pulling off the 3-peat, ladies and Coach Wade!
