Welcome to LSU Basketball!

Welcome to the LSU Boys 5th and 6th Grade Basketball Team.  We play in the Chester Basketball League.  There are six teams in our division.  There will be ten regular season games.  Whoever has the best record at the end of the regular season will win a championship trophy.  There will be a post season tournament.  Whichever team wins the post season tournament will also win a championship trophy.

Our coaches are Coach Pat Colicchio and Coach Tim Howes.  This is Coach Pat's first year as a coach in the Chester League.  This is Coach Tim's sixth season.

LSU is short for Louisiana State University.  The mascot for LSU is the Tiger.  The real life LSU is located in Baton Rouge Louisiana.  LSU has a great sports program.  Two of the greatest players who ever played college and professional basketball played for the LSU basketball team.  Have you heard of them?  Their names are Shaquille O'Neal ("Shaq") and Pete Maravich ("Pistol Pete").
