Spurs stick together

The Spring Branch-Memorial Sports Association Spurs wrapped an awesome season. Made up of third-grade players from Wilchester Elementary, Briarwood Elementary, and Sherwood Elementary, the team left it all on the court. With both coaches repping their Texas Tech roots, the Spurs impressed with sharp shooting and tenacious defense. Whether the quickest on the break, the tallest in the paint, or the grittiest on defense, every player brought their unique skills to the game, making for an exciting season. Through the guidance of their dedicated coaches, the Spurs grew closer as a team, not only on the court, but off the court as friends. Pictured (from left) are Girmay Amdemariam (assistant coach), Austin Tomkins, George Urech, Shepherd Shushtari, Giles Amdemariam, Joseph Peterka, Andres Ramirez, Logan Davis, George Urech, Henry Deutsch, Pierce Rollins, and Brandon Urech (head coach).
