Lady Flash brings home the hardware!

Sincerest apologies for a lack of activity on our site. With high school basketball, then try-outs and other things, we’ve all been very, very busy.

But our first post back is a good one. It’s a tale of triumph for our ladies.

The Lady Flash – Class of 2021 Team, won First Prize in the 8th Grade Division in the First-Annual “Flash Clash” Basketball Tournament, which was hosted at the Cut Off Youth Center.

The Lady Flash played great basketball throughout the weekend, outlasting some worthy competitors in the weekend.

Our ladies also got 2nd place in the Seventh Grade division.

Great job to all coaches and players on a job well done!

We’d also like to congratulate the Opelousas Lady Rockets for earning 2nd place in the Eighth Grade Bracket at our home tournament!

Great work, ladies and come again next year!

Flash continues push at Ballin’ on the Bayou

The South Lafourche Flash saw some of the best basketball teams that Louisiana AAU has to offer this weekend at the Ballin’ on the Bayou Tournament, hosted by the Louisiana Lightning.

When it was all said and done, our boys held their own, competing favorably against the top-flight competition.

The Flash sent four teams to the event, which took place at Lisa Park Gym in Houma.

The Flash Third Grade team ended up finishing in a tie for third, scoring a thrilling, four-point win over the New Orleans Stallions on Saturday afternoon to lock up a solid position in bracket play.

We were defeated by NOLA D-1 in the Semifinals.

In fourth grade, the Flash scored high marks, scoring a victory over a fifth grade opponent and competing favorably with some of the top teams in the bracket. Our fifth grade team competed in the same bracket and faced one of the best teams in the country on Friday night.

In eighth grade, the Flash fell victim to the home squad, the Lightning, falling to the local team in pool and bracket play.

But in the bracket game, we erased a 20-point deficit to 7 in the second half before running out of steam in the final minutes.

Flash posts strong weekend showings

The weekend was fruitful for the South Lafourche Flash 7th grade girls and 8th grade boys teams – each enjoying success in their respective events.

The Lady Flash played in the prestigious Super 60 Tournament in New Orleans, going up against some of the best 7th grade teams from around the United States.

The ladies fell in their first pool play game, but then battled back, winning the last pool play game, then storming past the Mississippi Express by a 40-17 margin in the opening bracket game to punch a spot in the event’s semifinals.

But in the Final 4, the ball didn’t bounce the Flash’s way, and our ladies fell to the Katy Rebels, the event’s eventual champion.

Congrats to the 7th Grade squad on a tremendous showing in a tough venue.

On the 8th grade side, the Flash boys competed in Zachary at the Bronco Ballers Bash.

The guys scored a thrilling opening-game winning, beating the home Broncos by one point – a game which may have been the most hotly competitive contest of the entire event.

In the afternoon game of pool play, the Flash fell to the Hurricanes by a slim margin.

In bracket play, an early start time doomed the guys, as the Buffalo Soldiers used a fast start and swarming defense to score a 35-20 victory to end our team’s weekend.

But the Flash made strides on the weekend and made a great showing in Zachary.

Footwork, Footwork, Footwork

Our third grade team had a red-hot weekend in Port Allen, posting a runner-up finish – the first-ever trophy finish in the history of the first-year of the age group.

But the work is not yet done. Just two days after the solid weekend finish, Coach St. Pierre and staff got the band back together and worked heavily on footwork – all in an effort to continue boasting the young team’s skills with the peak of the summer rolling around.

Check out a small snippet of the work here.

Brotherhood and the Flash Family

Yes, we are an AAU basketball program. Yes, we love to win. Yes, we enjoy competing at the highest level we can in any given event.

But at the same time, we also take pride in family, togetherness, skill-development and memory making.

That was on display big-time this past weekend in Port Allen.

During Championship Sunday, our 7th grade boys were in a double-overtime dogfight. Playing in a gym more than 100 miles away and with a fairly early opening tip time, our kids had every excuse laid out perfectly to fall short.

But they didn’t, thanks, in part, to the Flash Family.

While the battle waged on, parents from all our teams painted the gym orange, giving it a home-game feel for our kids.

Our 3rd grade team stood along the first row (pictured) and rooted on their older brothers’ every move.

We won the game and moved on to the Finals.

But it was more than that. A brotherhood and a bond was formed.

The Flash Family struck again, and it was awesome to see!

Flash boasts strong weekend

It was one heck of a weekend for the South Lafourche Flash – both on and off the court.

Four of our teams competed in the Louisiana Ballers Mayhem Classic in Port Allen, and three of the teams played in the title game.

Congratulations to our third grade boys, fourth grade boys and seventh grade boys on bringing home that hardware!

Great work boys, let’s win some more trophies before the summer is done!

Reminder – our eighth grade boys will be going to work THIS WEEKEND in Zachary, Louisiana.

Close out … and jump to the ball!

South Lafourche Basketball and the Flash teamed up on March 24 to have our second offseason open gym – basketball workouts open to any local kid in grades 1-8.

The focus? Fundamentals. Specifically closing out on a shooter and jumping to the ball.

Great job working hard, guys and gals! Let’s make it a great offseason.

Here’s a photo gallery of the work we put in!

Try outs are done, season is here!

The 2016 season of South Lafourche Flash Basketball is finally here! With try-outs now done and the rosters set, we are ready for our third-season of summer ball.

This summer, we are happy to have as many teams as we’ve ever had in our organization. We currently have set rosters for 3rd grade, 7th grade and 8th grade boys teams. We are also happy to welcome our first-ever girls team – a 7th grade girls team.

As the season gets rolling, we will use this space to give game stories and team awards/accolades to our players!

We will also post photo galleries, all-access videos and other multimedia to make you feel like a part of our team!
