Girls Basketball: June 2009 Archives

Here's how Bolingbrook star basketball player Morgan Tuck tore her ACL.

Bolingbrook sophomore Ariel Massengale and freshman Morgan Tuck are living a dream right now as they were chosen to the inaugural USA Basketball Women's U16 National Team on Sunday.

A total of 34 girls were invited to the Olympic facility located in Colorado Springs to try to make the roster of 12 that will be used when team USA participates in the 2009 FIBA Americas Tournament. The tournament will feature eight teams (to be announced) and the top three countries will advance to the FIBA Under 17 basketball championship in 2010.

The two Raiders plan to return home Thursday from Colorado after spending a little more than a week away from home; the return date to Colorado has not been announced.

Bolingbrook is one of only two schools that has multiple players on the squad, and Tuck and Massengale are the only representatives from the state of Illinois.
