2010 Boston Warriors Spring Boys AAU Basketball Tryouts
The Boston Warriors AAU Boys Basketball organization would like to announce the 2010 spring tryouts for both the Boston Warriors and Boston Warriors North Division AAU Boys teams. The Boston Warrior AAU Boys Basketball Program is one of the strongest programs in New England from 4th grade through high school juniors. Last year we had 13 teams qualify for the AAU National Championships. But it is not all about going to the National Championships. We offer players of all talent level the possible opportunity to play competitive spring basketball. In the spring, all teams will play at least 5 tournaments, the roster size is manageable and the cost is to play affordable. Most of all, we will provide very good coaching including a lot of skill work with real practices. This year we will have multiple teams from age 9 and under (3rd grade) to 17 and under (11th grade).

Please check out the website from day to day for updates.
For players in the Boston and metrowest area (south & west of Boston) practices will be in the Waltham/Lexington/Cambridge area. The Boston Warriors North division will be made up primarily of players on the north shore. The practices for these teams will generally be in the Woburn, Wakefield, Peabody & Malden area. This year, for organizational purposes, the tryouts for the Boston Warriors and Boston Warriors North will be at at Waltham High School.

Reebok Summer Classic East – Event Recap
July 13th, 2008 by Phil Kasiecki
Phil Kasiecki was in New Jersey this weekend to check out the action at the Reebok Summer Classic. The highlight of the day was watching the Warriors plow through the field en route to the silver bracket championship.
LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. - Though more teams will be at the Playaz Ball an hour up the road in the Garden State, a few New England teams played in the Summer Classic East event at Rider.
It didn't take long for a New England presence to be shown, as the Boston Warriors 17U team knocked off Team Philly in one of the first games of the tournament by a score of 79-77. Akeem Williams simply couldn't be stopped in the second half, as he scored 23 of his 33 points in the latter frame. Many of those points came on drives, as he often knifed to the basket and finished strong, while his jumper wasn't going like it normally is. He certainly didn't do it alone, though. Alex Kershaw struggled for a lot of the game with his jumper, but got the game-winning field goal in the final seconds. James Rodriques also played well, scoring 11 points and helping to run the show.
The Warriors lost their next game to Cecil Kirk, in part because the Baltimore-based squad held down Williams at the offensive end. He scored just seven points and never really got on track.
The loss sent them into the silver bracket, but they rebounded to win their next game against the Brooklyn Ballers in coonvincing style, getting a big effort from Jeff Tagger, en route to a 95-69 decision over the Gym Rat Challenge Tournament champions. In the semi-finals of the silver bracket the Warriors then blew out the New Jersey All-Stars 86-64. Their dominance continued in the final as they came away with another big vicotry, knocking off Rise/Sam Rines 90-72 to win the silver bracket championship.
Williams averaged over 30 points per game in the Warriors' three games on Sunday, while Tagger averaged 24. Kershaw, Peter Lynch, and Archie Allen were also major contributors.
This past spring 10 Boston Warriors AAU teams qualified for their respective AAU National Championships.

Boston Warriors Elite 17U makes it to the final 8
The two-day event that drew 88 teams in the 17-under division requires teams that advance to the evening championship round to play five games on Sunday, often turning the title contest into a war of physical attrition. The 17U team won there pool play and despite numerous injuries won the first game in the championship round. The injuries caught up to the Warrirors as they fell by 3 points to the eventual Gymrat Tournament runner up The Raiders (out of PA) in the quarterfinals. Overall team competed as well as any team at the tournament.

Massachusetts 16-Under and 17-Under AAU Recap
by Phil Kasiecki
MANSFIELD, Mass. - Over the past two weekends, the Amateur Athletic Union in Massachusetts called the Mansfield SportsPlex home. There, many divisions of its state tournament were held, including the 16-under and 17-under in the high school age categories.
Pool play was held the first weekend, featuring a few good games but a decided lack of competitive ones. As is often the case, it was mainly a warm-up to this weekend, when bracket play commenced on Friday night with three overtime games and continued through Sunday night.
Here are some notes on many of the players who competed here.
Class of 2009
Jeff Tagger (6'0" PG, Brockton (MA) Catholic Memorial HS) Also a very good football player, he had a huge game in a losing effort when his team was knocked out, going for 39 points with eight three-pointers. From the point guard spot, he's a good distributor with above-average quickness and is athletic, although he showed more scoring ability than playmaking here, as he also scored 23 in an earlier playoff game. Also an excellent student, he's a mid/low-major prospect who is likely to get better offers for football.
Akeem Williams (5'10" SG, Brockton (MA) Avon HS) Although he's more athletic than he looks, this three-point marksman could stand to improve his conditioning. That said, he isn't someone an opposing defense wants left open, and he showed that once again in going for 30 points (seven three-pointers) in a losing effort.

Boston Warriors 17U team wins pool and is one of only 3 New England teams that finish in the Final 16. If not for a heartbreaking loss in the round of 16, the Boston Warriors would have been the only New England 17U team in quarterfinals. As written on the New England Recruiting Report:
Providence Jam Fest – Day Two Recap
April 27th, 2008
NewEnglandRecruitingReport.com
Many local teams defended their home turf on Saturday as a variety of programs from New England advanced into the gold bracket. Here is a look at the teams that advanced in the 17 and under division.
Boston Warriors – Not only did the Warriors win their pool, but they won their first game in the gold bracket before an unlucky end to their run. With the game already in overtime and the score tied, the Warriors were called for a phantom foul that cost them a trip to the quarterfinals. Akeem Williams continued to be a consistent scorer as he went for 22 points in their last game, while Nicco Demasco was very active in the paint and on the boards.
Here is the video of the big win over Upstate Basketball (of NY) in the round of 32:
