But those seeming handicaps did nothing to derail the championship run of the Saratoga Sparks, who used strong overall team play and a well-designed strategy to advance to Sunday night's championship contest of the 6th annual GymRat CHALLENGE for girls where it earned a 56-40 victory over the New York Gauchos.

Gym Ray Challenge Website:
Congratulations to Sydnie Rosales (not pictured) for being named the 2010 Most Valuable GymRat. She brought calm to the court, particularly against a pressing defense applied by the New York Gauchos in the event's championship game. Her smooth play was on display here. She is good in transition, advancing the ball very well. Has exceptional range, even beyond the 3-point stripe.
Coming off an injury plagued season at Colonie, but looks to be back to full health. Showed an ability to dominate games when she plays with intensity. Her size and ability she exhibits marks her a potential future Division I recruit. Read More...Tags: Mary Kate Cusack Allayia Demand Cassie Broadhead

The last chance for each college bound Junior to enjoy a little home cooking before heading to Rockland County and Penn State to finish up their AAU season. It was also a chance for their parents to enjoy one last go around at the concession stand and the admissions table... all fond memories by the close of Sunday.
