Show Me Invitational Championship Top Performers
Kai Mitchell Forward (Gauchos)- The big fella got MVP by controlling the game with his rebounding, scoring inside, short jumpers and free throws.
Jaquan McKennon Guard (Gauchos)- McKennon is a flashy guard that likes to use a crossover and up fake to get loose from defenders. He launches shots from the cheap seats.
Boz Bernstein Guard (Gauchos)- Aaron has good court vision and showed it in the finals when he hit teammates for buckets and scored himself on the break.
Ricky McGill Guard (Gauchos)- McGill repeatedly beat defenders down the floor for uncontested lay ups. I think he will be a good one in a few years.
Kelvin Riley Forward (Gauchos)- I like the way Riley runs the floor and finish off plays. He plays with enormous energy at times.
Jack Laffy Forward (Bayshore)- Laffy was an inside force for the Bulldogs. He has soft touch and can score in bunches.
Nick Lub Guard (Bayshore)- Nick was a speedster down the floor in the semifinals and finals. He beat defenders to the cup and either scored or got fouled.
Jack Byrne Forward (Bayshore)- Byrne has some size but he can handle the rock like a guard. You also can’t leave him open because he will make you pay.
Luke O’shaunghnissy Guard (Bayshore)- Luke hit some big foul shots and a couple open jumpers to help Bayshore win the crown. In the semifinal he lived at the free throw line and made them count.
