Boys 17s state

[coachrochelle]

So not much talk has been said about the upcoming 17s tourney...

Who all has automatic bids? Supposedly the Yellowjackets do,

but who else does?

 

Im going to pick the YOMCA Blue (17s) and the Memphis Bulldogs

to get out of Pool B and YOMCA white (15s) and the TN Thunder

out of Pool A. The winner I would have to guess the Y 17s, but

it could be anyone of the four's weekend.

Is that the Thunder Select 16's playing in the 17's? I thought that the Thunder only had one 17 team, and three of them played on the Thunder 16 year old "B" team at DCA this weekend.

Yes it is the Thunder 16s. We qualified in the East substate along

with the Breakers. Looking forward to doing a bit better in the

16s tourney than we did in this one.

 

The Breakers beat us for the last qualifying spot to finish 5th.

I had to leave before the finals, but the YOMCA 17s

and the Midstate Ballerz 17s were in the championship. The Y 15s

were playing the Memphis Bulldogs 17s for 3rd and 4th.

 

I was very impressed with the Ballerz this weekend. Their guards

and power forwards are very impressive. The Y 17s showed

why they are so highly ranked. I dont know who won this, but

surely the Y did. This would be their first test of the tourney though.

The Championship game was a classic...

 

Memphis YOMCA overcame a 12-point defecit in the second half to beat the Ballerz Elite 80-77 when Ballerz PG Reiley Ervin's last second 3 point attempt rimmed in and out at the buzzer!!!

 

This was a fierce, intense championship game that lived up to all of the hype. YOMCA F Frank Holmes was unstoppable througout and 6'5 G David Jackson made a name for himself as an elite prospect in the State. 6'9 G Shawne Williams ran PG for most of the second half after Andre Allen was primarily ineffective, showing again why the 6'9 Jr is the Top Prospect in the State...

 

The Ballerz again had a variety of players step up, as they had througout the weekend. G Courtney Pigram continued his outstanding play, leading the way with 17 points. PG Reiley Ervin had 13 points and 5 assists, while F Antwon Harris and G Brent McPherson each had 11...

 

The Memphis Bulldogs defeated the YOMCA 15's for 3rd place behind Brian Lake, Michael Davis, and surprising PG Chris Holley...

Can somebody post the scores from all the games that were played in the state tournament. I know some of the scores but would like to know how other games went and how close each game was.
