Midstate 16Us win Adidas Atlanta Summer Kickoff


Recommended Posts

Congratulations to the Midstate Ballerz 16u team that had to beat the Atlanta Celtics in the semis and Carolina Celtics in the finals to win the Adidas Atlanta Summer Kickoff. The 17u team lost in the semis and the 15u team won the select bracket. All in all a great showing for the Ballerz and TN basketball.

It probably isn't fair to pick out individuals because all the players had to play their hearts out to get these victories. D'alvin Brown knocked down the game winning three while being fouled with 2 seconds left in the Atlanta game. Sam Watson was huge in the Atlanta game scoring @17 against much bigger players and slowing them down defensively. Skylar McBee played well in the Carolina game and hit the game winner with 5 seconds left. Charles Taylor has really stepped up his game and played well through out. Derrick Walker and Terrance Williams had really strong contributions as well. Jordan Rorex, Jay Murphy and Joey Lee (he is always around the ball) did a great job running the point and putting pressure on the ball. Their was a 15u that played up for the tourney but not sure of his name that gave some quality minutes. Coach Shulman deserves a lot credit for this championship.

 

Considering this was one of the biggest tournament championships by a TN team all year it is disappointing there was no coverage even by the TN websites. Rivals had a big article on the Atlanta and Carolina 16u teams at the start of the tourney but nothing on the Ballerz after they beat them both. Just not enough star power I guess.

You gotta love it when a kid from the East helps a midstate-based team win a tournament. I was also told McBee hit 7 3s in the third quarter against the Atlanta Celtics...anyone got more that they can remember? I know that was 2 months back but 7 3s in a quarter is pretty impressive.

Skylar did hit 7 treys in ONE QUARTER in July!! It was actually against Martin bros Select 16s (a team that knocked off a very good YOMCA 17s team the next day) at 17u AAU Nationals. Skylar had 34 points for the game, and was honestly outstanding throughout the entire Spring and Summer. He is a great kid with a very bright future!

    • Upperman White County both will be loaded. Dyersbirg and South Side will be a handful as well. Getting about that time in about 3 weeks we start watching summer scrimmages. Dyersburg loaded loaded loaded with talent. Most talent ever I have seen in their program. 
    • We, SP, blanked them 10-0 in sectional game during 21 season.
    • The amount of people pooing on UH is crazy. They're a noticably better team than last year when they made state and were competitive , AND they run ruled Eagleville a few weeks ago. Now I understand Eagleville was missing a few guys, but they still. They. Run. Ruled. Eagleville. 1st single A team to run rule Eagleville since when? Pre 2017??
    • If that Yellow Paint is all gone I'll flat bet it didn't wash off there. I bet that took some scrubbing to remove that if it is gone. Lacrosse is one of those northern sports all these misplaced Yankee's that are posion to the community brought in by  (Blount Partnership, ( The Devil) with them so somebody allowed them to paint their markings on the field that cost more than the twenty top people on payroll at Maryville make a year. All this to please the 1% Club and the 25 people that would come to see it. All in the name of WOKE!!!!!!
    • They will probably, struggle
