WTG 2/6/2006 - Midget AA sweep consecutive tourneys on way to Districts - When Coaches Dale Buss and Tim Washburn decided they needed a couple "tune-ups" going into Districts, they scrambled to get as many quality games against quality teams as possible. If they were going to use this as an indicator of their team's readiness, they couldn't be happier as their team ended up sweeping nine games in the two tournaments to take back-to-back trophies home leading into Little Caesars' playoffs and Districts.
