It was disappointing to see the Nike team without McAdoo and the Williams kid. The Future hustled from start to finish and was suffocating on the press. The Wildcats shooting percentage was very good for the night. The Ballerz are quick and have a post that has probably been underestimated. #34 for the Shooting Stars was definitely "the man". The games were clearly won tonight....no squabbling about the refs!!!

This should be the best 13u tournament for the midstate this year. Who knows what team will take this one, but it is going to be one heck of a weekend for 13u basketball!! I think it is so exciting to see this many guality teams coming out of the midstate. If this area continues building its organizations, we will give Memphis a great run at it all!!

Fuson is definitely not lazy and pitchers have off days, BA has a very talented team and should play well in Memphis!! Good luck to the Eagle baseball team.

Matt Ridings, BGA, is the real deal. He pitched a shut out against MBA for a trip to the D2 state. That is pitching under pressure!! GO WILDCATS!!

Brandon Wright is dominate. He can handle the ball like a guard, and take any post player. He reminds me of a young Kevin Garnett. Who in Memphis is going to stop him?

In all of the games, Nike played 12 kids, with starters sometimes playing less than half the game. That shows a pretty good team when everyone has an opportunity to play major minutes. Also, I don't think the Nike team has any "stars", just some ballers. McAdoo, Parker, Kelly, Pope and Wallace played less than anyone and handed the Pacesetters a 15+ loss. Thank Coach Patton for being generous and a class act. The Shooting Stars gave the Nike team a good game. The Mondelli kid really played well for them. They are going to be a team to be reckoned with in state.

Who is the pg for the lst TN Stars? Where is he from and what are his stats?

I don't know who you think LadyBaller4 is, but my son played in the AAU Nationals on 3 different occasions. Twice with the same organization. And as the saying goes BDOE and aqua, you can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. Good Luck to you guys!!

It's sad, but true.....basketball and baseball travel teams are not going to Knoxville any longer because of the officiating around that area. It is not just one team, one tournament or one age group....it's the whole pie!! Until someone steps in and runs a decent tournament, basketball or baseball, Knoxville will stay off the map and people will continue to complain any time they do venture that way!!

When coaches are unethical with money and players, there will always be "rumors". It is not a rumor that the Futures head coach has been ousted by several teams over the past 4 years and has to keep getting new kids. Yes, he does take his teams to the Nationals every year....but then, he loses them all. No one is talking about the kids...just the coach.

Nashville Shooting Stars won Pool A Tennessee Thunder - 2nd Pool A Nike Select/Eagles won Pool B Sparta Blitz and Pacesetters being determined.

I understand the kid that scored all those points from the Elite team tried to be a one man show. Maybe Kats/Daddy knows for sure. Memphis has been inundated with calls this week because AAU has never had all tournament teams in sub-state or state play. How did they come up with it this year in Knoxville? We've been involved in AAU for over 14 years and it has never been done in Lynchburg, Nashville, Jackson or Memphis. I've never even heard of it happening in Knoxville, until this year.

The 13u team from Dyersburg won the sub-state for the west.

I agree, Josh Bone did a very good job at BA this year. He will definitely be a fun point guard to watch over the next several years. Thanks for reminding me!

I understand Adam Plavich, Fr., Baylor, TN Travelers, is one of the top point guards in the state. I have heard that at his age, he is better than brother, Brendan, who played for Vanderbilt and is now at NC State. Who's challenging for top honors at this age group?
