On Saturday, November 23, 2013, the Tri-City Youth Group sponsored a "Play Where the Warriors Play" event at the Oracle Arena where the
Golden State Warriors play all their home games. Tyler along with his teammates were afforded the opportunity to scrimmage with other
Tri-City players on the same floor where the Warriors play. Tyler made a shot and can truthfully say he made a basket on the same floor as
Steph Curry! To make the event even more special, Tyler won the chance to go down onto the court for the National Anthem.

floor, so Dad recorded the game and took this

The first weekend in March 2014, Tyler's Tri-City team played in the Betsuin Tournament in Sacramento. Highlights include dinner with the team on
Saturday night, End of the Year Party at Fenton's on Sunday, and winning their last game of the tournament with a 3-point buzzer beater!

In order to get more gym time, Tyler joined Cupertino Hoops. His Tri-City coach, Coach Doug, was the coach for this team as well. Along with 3 other Tri-City players, this
team made it to the playoffs.
2014 Creepers!
