Welcome to MRA bites off more than they can chew Part 2:

 

MRA will be playing in the Junior Orange Bowl tournament on Dec 28-30. It’s first game will be against Gulliver Prep(FL), who is coached by Ray Allen.

 

Fun fact: MRA assistant coach Erick Dampier and Gulliver Prep head coach were teammates on the 2011 Miami Heat.

Ok on second thought we’ll be fine.

Duease has been doing this for as long as I can remember. There was one year, he played against Patrick Ewing Jr., and also they've been consistently competing in these out-of-state tournaments. In a way, it's the ability for kids to play great competition, to prep them for the conference season, and the tournaments. In fact, didn't MRA's football team play Oakland, Pulaski Academy, and Shedeur Sanders high school? It's giving kids an opportunity to compete with other good teams, and get better, win or lose.

Basketball has always done out of state tournaments. They’ve never gone to this tournament or to Florida in general. Typically they’ll go to Louisiana or Tennessee. 
 

Also in football having one big non conference game is one thing.(2020 vs Trinity)

MRA played the best team from three different states and lost handily to all of them. There is a difference between having good competition and being in way over your head. That being said basketball should be fine this weekend.
