This was the first actual Pistols team
formed in 1993 after we attended AAU Nationals in 1992 as the Foothill Bullettes
which were formed and played in the 1991-1992 season. After being exposed to the
experience of a national competition, it was obvious that we needed to start
thinking more globally rather than so locally. The team pictured was assembled from the
best players in the Sacramento valley and foothills. We had an overall record of
56-8 for this season; four of our losses came during National competition and
two during the northern CA Regional championships where the Marin Flight won the
championship but relinquished their right to attend the AAU Nationals to the
runner up Pacific Pistols.
In preparation for the AAU Regional
Championships we took our first road trip to Oregon. We played 7 games
in 8 days and covered 1700 miles. We traveled through Klamath Falls, then
played a tournament in Bend where we got our butts kicked.
The next day we arrived late in Prineville but won our game. Next
we traveled to Eugene and won another. Then to Florence and South Jetty
for some R&R. We traveled to Portland and played a top ranked
12 and under team who we beat without trouble.
We had made arrangements to play the Oregon State Championship
team, the Oregon Reign, before making the journey. We stayed with them the first
half but their size and stature were more than we could handle. We lost by 20. After
some sight seeing we met up with the Reign again in Oregon City.
They were very big and strong and we were proud but tired and lost by 15.
The Pistols later earned a trip to the AAU Nationals held in Kenner (New Orleans) Louisiana,
where they defeated Connecticut in a practice game, Central Alabama and
Vermont in the friendship tournament. The Oregon Reign took 4th Place
at Nationals that year.
As the 14U Pistols, the nucleus of this
team won the northern CA Championships, beating Marin Flight, and returned to
the AAU Nationals in Indianapolis Indiana where they defeated Arkansas, and
Missouri in pool play but lost to the National Champion Kenner Angels and
Indiana's Finest Red. The following 2 years they placed third as the 15U Pistols
and 16U Pistols in their Regional Championships. As 16's the four remaining
players from the original team were: Meadow, Aileen, Brook and Tiffany.
