Champs at the coliseum

The Spring Branch-Memorial Sports Association sophomore Pelicans (pictured) celebrate their gold-bracket championship win on the court at Don Coleman Coliseum. It was a tough basketball game, and the Pelicans went back and forth with their opponent, the Orange Suns, several times until the end. They finally prevailed 57-50. The players worked hard through the regular season, winning most of their games leading up to the playoffs. The championship Pelicans from Rummel Creek Elementary are (top row, from left) coaches Brian Ubell and Scott Miracle; (bottom row, from left) Matthew Miracle, Andrew Ubell, Gavin Linley, Collin Merchant, Nico Smith, Moises Cohen, Colin Ottis, Landry Reichenau, Collin Barber and Thompson Aston.
