Broadneck Youth Basketball Team Ends Season Undefeated

A local 9U basketball team won the county's championship with an undefeated record.

The Broadneck Area Youth Sports (BAYS) league 9-10-year-old boys basketball team, Thunder, just wrapped up its season with a 10-0 record.

The boys went on to win in the Anne Arundel County Parks and Recreation spring basketball league.

In an email to Patch, Coach Chris Stewart said he was proud of his team.

"It was such a privilege to witness the Thunder display every positive trait you could ever want to see out of a team this season," Stewart said.

"They tried hard. They did their best. They had fun. They always had each other's backs. They always thought they were going to win. And they did it all with tremendous sportsmanship and grace."

Stewart said he believes his team is somewhat unique in that members are all stars in other walks of life as well, whether it's being on the honor roll or a member of the Boy Scouts.

"It is pretty cool that our team has so many honor roll students, chess club members, and Boy Scout participants and they are good friends on and off the court, and they are good basketball players," he said. "Not too many other 10-0 teams can stake that claim."

Congratulations to team Thunder for their big win this season.
