After winning the 2009 disney super showcase national tournament last week in orlando, fla., West and his players still http://www.lasaliera.it/ralph-lauren-bambini.html hadn't taken off their medals, even three days later.

"I think http://www.lasaliera.it/ralph-lauren-uomini/giacche-ralph-lauren.html we'll be walking around with those on for a long time now,"West said with a laugh.

West's raleigh based, u 15 aau squad rolled through the showcase, going 8 0 and winning the championship game 59 50.

The tournament attracted 76 teams for an invitation only event for the nation's top aau teams.This year's championship matched the bulldogs against iowa's nike sponsored martin bros.Select, garner road's longtime rival.The squads previously had faced off three times in the past two years, with martin bros.Winning each time.

So west and his players felt they had something to prove.Leading by as many as 13 in the fourth quarter, they left little doubt the tide had turned.

"It wasn't really until the last 30 seconds, when we were up nine, that i really started to relax,"West said. "And it really felt good, because you play in all these tournaments and you get so close, you just believe that sometime, something good is gonna happen. "

The squad picked up two new players before heading to orlando, and west said it was a true team effort that got the team through some close games in pool play and in its bracket.

"Everybody did their thing, and the guys really took this on http://www.lasaliera.it/ralph-lauren-donne/ralph-lauren-polo-flag.html as a personal challenge,"West said. "In each game, there was somebody different stepping up, and they did absolutely everything they needed to do. "

Whether that meant point guard denzel ingram sinking a tying 3 pointer with one second on the clock in the first game of bracket play or guard rashawn king shutting down an opponent's leading scorer to help garner road hold a lead, west's players held nothing back.

"They are really, really happy, but they've already said we've got to come back next year and get it back,"West said. "We have several state championships over the years, and they feel like this is just the next step.They're happy, but they're not satisfied. "
