Twin Sports TV/Atlanta Invitational II
ATLANTA-On Saturday May 16th, 2015, Exposure Basketball Events a company founded in 2011 for youth basketball tournaments hosted the Atlanta Invite II 2015 at the Osborne High School in Marietta, GA. There, about 14 teams ranging from ages five to 17 were scheduled to play starting at 9 AM. At 12 PM, the Atlanta Hurricanes was set to take on the Skillset Vipers and media company Twin Sports TV was present for tipoff.
Twin Sports TV is a media production company founded by identical twin sisters Renita Deloatch and Regina Deloatch-Ratliff. Born and raised in Newport News Virginia they are now relocated to Atlanta, GA and are taking over youth sports and exposing the talents of these young athletes to the world! Back to the game, in the first half it started out pretty slow. You can tell that the boys were just starting to figure out how to run the plays, work with one another, and get into the groove of the game considering that they only had five minute quarters. By halftime, there were points on the board and both teams came alive leaving everyone to anticipate what the second half will have in store.
As the second half began, both teams came out with enthusiasm and determination making it seem like you were watching either a top high school, college, or maybe even a NBA game. These young men were only in the 7th grade! There were three point shots made, defensive stops, and creative plays. The highlight of this game was in the fourth quarter with 4.9 seconds to go on the clock. The score was 39-40 and the Atlanta Hurricanes were about to inbound the ball. As the ball was in route to a teammate, a player from the Vipers stole the ball and was able to bank in the layup. It left everyone shocked who witnessed it! The final score was 40-41.
From that game the Twin Sports TV crew was able to catch the tip off of a 6th grade girls' game located in the other gym. It was the Southern Soul versus the Skillset Vipers. As the game began, watching them made the question pop up in your head “Who said that girls can't play basketball?” In the first quarter, it was more of a defensive game with a lot of stops. With the missed shots, the score was only 8-12. in the second quarter, the Vipers set the tone with taking control of the game. They were making more shots, stealing the ball, and grabbing offensive and defensive rebounds. They went into halftime leading the Soul with a score of 9-18.
In the third quarter, the Soul came out with a little more determination by driving to the basket to draw fouls, making foul shots, and making their own stops to hold the Vipers to only scoring one point making the score 13-19. In the fourth both teams were looking to stay alive. At this point, there were many jump balls and missed foul shots. The Vipers were still able to pull through with the win and the final score was 17-24.

The Dez Bryant Catch...
This past Sunday, it seemed like karma came back around to the Dallas Cowboys when the referees reversed the call when Dez Bryant caught the ball. It was devastating. Especially to the Cowboys fans. I know me personally, I was jumping up and down screaming because I felt that it was a good catch. Once I seen the ref take the field, I knew it wasn't going to be good.
I just cannot believe that that call was reversed. I feel that there are no good explanations to why the call was made. THAT WAS CLEARLY A CATCH!!! In my opinion, the NFL needs to have a meeting once the season is actually over on how to make better calls. If you take a look at the replay, you can see that the ball was in his hands. Little do they know, calls like this makes some NFL fans feel that the games are rigged!
This organization is too big and successful to have their fans, who is one of the reasons it exists think that there is some illegal things going on within the front office. I hope that next season brings better calls because I see the NFL losing some fans in the near future! I can't even imagine how Dez Bryant is feeling right now. I bet he is still distraught. I know I would be.
If I were him, I would have been in Roger Goodell's office the first thing Monday morning! He would have really had to do a break down in order for me to believe that it was an incomplete pass! It may be a while before Bryant will be able to get over this because in all reality, he had his hands on the ball and Dallas was going to win the game. Well that's all I have to say for right now, but I hope that Dallas have another great run next season and they get to advance so they can go on another Super Bowl run! That's all I have to say for now...Stay tuned and have a good day!!!

How About Those Atlanta Hawks!...
Good Morning Readers!!!
First I would like to say Happy New Year!!! I know it's been a long time since I've written, but I have a moment and I would like to share it with you. With that being said, let me start it off by saying "How about them Atlanta Hawks!?"
Speaking as a fan/analyst this was unexpected. Considering that I have been in Atlanta for six years, I have learned that it is sometimes hard to be a fan for an Atlanta sports team unless it's high school. With the changes in coaching and the front office, the team seems to have that positive effect too!
They play well together and there is no one or three-man team. It's just the Atlanta Hawks! Here lately they have been on a six game winning streak including dominating in the West! At this point, ATLiens are keeping their hopes up considering that they were let down by the Falcons once again, and the Philips Arena is starting to fill up and it's not even the playoffs.
This is the first time in the 31 years of my life that I have seen the Atlanta Hawks be proclaimed as the 'Beast of the East". I know me myself, I'm looking forward to seeing them continue to win and see how far they go in the playoffs! Now speaking of playoffs, that's when the Hawks seem to give up and they never make it pass the second round. Hopefully, they will take it all the way and become the Eastern Conference Champions!.....then the NBA Championship! Anything's possible!
Thanks for reading...stay tuned

STEELERS Baby!!!
Whoa! Did you see that game last night? (11/17/14). I bet ALL die hard Steelers fans, including me were biting their nails all the way to the fourth quarter. In my eyes, that was one game that will go down in the books it was so good! The Man of The Night trophy goes to the Pittsburgh's Le'Veon Bell who had 33 carries and 204 yards to take the win.
His hustle first began in the end of the third quarter. It's almost like the Steelers was just playing a little hide and seek before they came out and played like the team that everyone know they are. I bet it was a total shock to the Titans! To feel like you have this game under control and the other team just comes back and win the game! Even as a fan of the game, I wouldn't want to imagine the agony that it must be considering that they now have a record of 2-8. Their hope was just shattered!
With this game out of the way, Pittsburgh has a bye week and then play the New Orleans Saints on November 30th. In my eyes that can be a tricky game. I say this because the Saints really not a good team on the road, but you still can't count out future Hall-of-Fame quarterback Drew Brees and company. When the Saints come to play, they come to play. Then again, Pittsburgh is hard to beat at home on Heinz field. It should be a good one! Until next time, Stay tuned...

What's On My Mind...
Good Day Readers,
Here lately I have been struggling with the fact that my career in sports is not where I'd like it to be. I know that with my first post on this blog, I was able to cover the College Football Hall of Fame event! I have not been able to land anything since then! I know I sound a little impatient, but it seems like ALL of my hard work and dedication isn't getting me anywhere. When I tell myself to basically take a step back for just a moment, it seems that my heart just yearns for it more. At the moment, I am telling myself to get back in school or maybe even pay for a 10-12 week class.
At the moment, that seems like the best choice! It doesn't hurt to try! If i'm serious about gaining more experience and getting my foot in the door then I need to take the necessary precautions to do it! I know I may sound a little oxymoronish because I just gave myself my own advice, but I just wanted to also be able to share it with my readers because it's good to know that someone is either reading or listening. You never know...there may be someone out there going trough the same situation and we can help one another. That's all I have to say for right now...PLEASE stay tuned because you never know what big news I may be able to share next!!!
