Arkansas Mustang Invitational 2010
Jan 15th
The Kansas City Teams are starting to arrive in Arkansas this evening for the 3rd Annual Arkansas Mustang Invitational.
The 7th grade division in this tournament consists of just five teams, including KC Truth metro-area rivals Mo-Kan Elite 7th and the KC Cowboys/76ers.
All of the KC teams are in the same hotel, and it’s good to see the young men from the three teams hanging out together. Their rivalries are strong and healthy, but so are their friendships and the respect they have for each other as athletes. The young athletes from all three KC area teams are representing their city well even before play begins!
The other two teams in the 7th grade division are the Coach T Foundation and the Tulsa Titans.
As noted, a small field. But a strong field. It should be a very competitive weekend.
Check back for updates!

KC Truth Black 2015 Place at the KC Storm Fall Classic
Nov 24th
The KC Truth Black 7th Grade took 3rd Place in the 8th grade division of the KC Storm Fall Classic, held on November 20-22.
The KC Truth Black 2015 competed in the 8th Grade (2014) division of the KC Storm Fall Classic. The Truth were in a three-team pool with the KC Cowboys and the KC Knights 8th Grade. They lost a close game to the Cowboys, 39-36, and then beat the KC Knights by a handy margin. Their 1-1 pool record put The Truth in 2nd place in their pool, and left them unable to compete for the championship, as only the 1st place pool winners could advance to the championship. However, The Truth did play for 3rd Place in the division, against the Gardner-Edgerton Blazers.
The Truth dominated the 3rd place game from the beginning, thanks to their breathtakingly intense defense, and an offense that has been increasing in rhythm and perfecting its execution by the game.
The Truth dominated the offensive game both inside and outside the lane. The Truth owned the inside game on the strength of big men Vince Eskina, Tyrone Gibbs and Brandon Sublette, who outrebounded their opponents and scored at will under the basket. The Truth guards, for their part, showed off spectacular drives on the baseline and into the lane by Anthony “Fuzzy’ Bonner, Drew Lock and Shawntez Scroggins. The Truth also dominated from the three-point line, with a handful of players scoring from long-range, including Eskina, Lock, Bonner, Scroggins, Cartier Dean and DeAngelo “DeLo” Bruster.
Defensively, the Truth frustrated their opponent with an aggressive full-court press, while alternating man-to-man defense with a continuous trapping zone defense in the half-court.
Overall, the KC Truth Black looked like a well-oiled machine.
