5th Grade Champions

Congratulations to our 5th grade RIB team! They won this past weekends Oregon Prep Tournament in Beaverton/Hillsboro.

The 5th graders have shown huge improvements weekly and displayed those improvements over the weekend winning four games to claim the championship. Their unselfishness and execution on the offensive end and aggressive play with great rebounding on the defensive end proved too much for their opponents.

Again, congratulations to our 5th grade squad for bringing home their first trophy of the winter season!

Volunteer Opportunity: Holiday Food Basket Program

RIB Familes,
I am managing a volunteer event on Tuesday December 15th from 6-8pm at the Hillsboro Elks and would like to extend an invitation to you and your RIB players to help sort and box food for holiday gift baskets that will go to local needy families. Jovanni and I did it last year and it was an awesome experience for both of us! All the food donations from the local school’s food drives go the Elks for this program and it is a wonderful opportunity for the kids to see the whole process come full circle. If you are interested in joining us on Tuesday December 15 from 6-8pm, please let me know:

6th Grade Great 48


"Great tourney this weekend! In my opinion, the guys did really well.
And it's all because of your support, I'm sure of this. We had the
opportunity to see them do a great deal of growing and improving from
game to game. I can't wait to get back to practice and sharpen up some
of the weaknesses that were exposed this weekend."

Seattle MLK Tournament

Consolation Champions

The 8th Black team comes back as Consolation Champions in their division for the second year in a row.

After a tough start to a very competitive weekend RIB Sports bounced back with a tough but well deserved win in their second game against Team Vision from Washington. I thought I was watching an NBA playoff game because of how physical the refs let the game get. But after a few technical's and bodies hitting the floor the kids showed a lot of heart and perseverance as they out lasted a worn down Team Vision.

Next up for RIB was an undersized Team Access also from the Seattle area. RIB made easy work of Access Warriors to go 2-0 on the day and set up a Consolation Championship game with the Bellevue Wolverines Monday afternoon. At first it looked as if RIB would be able to coast to victory as they ran the lead up to 16 points closing out the first half.

The second half was a totally different game as Bellevue showed they had a lot of fight in them closing the gap quickly and sending the game into overtime. After a few mistakes and missed freethrows by both teams RIB finally took control by making the last shot with the game tied with two seconds left in the game to win it!
