Thunder took home victories both in Arcadia and Covina tournaments and qualified for the State Games of America, also known as the California Junior Olympics that took place in San Diego Aug. 4 through Aug. 7. Thunder not only played in a 16-team tournament with the best of the best teams from all of California with some representation from Nevada, but also marched in the “parade of athletes” at the San Diego’s Qualcomm Stadium. The team was acknowledged with athletes from 21 other sports – a once in a life time experience. Thunder ended up placing fourth.
