Can Team Nelson Pull Of The Hat TrickThe 13 and Under Division at the Atlantic City Showcase had some good teams and turned out to be very entertaining. The results have made for some interesting stories and should make the rest of the AAU season worth watching.
Can Team Nelson Win The Triple Crown?After winning the Grand Finale and Atlantic City Showcase, Team Nelson is a MDC victory of winning the Basketball Spotlight Triple Crown (All 3 Tourneys). The AC title didn’t come easy though. They got tripped up by an inspired Team NJ ABC squad in pool play this had to win an 8:00 am dog fight with emerging Team Final the next morning. TN then rebounded to knock off City Sports in the semifinals before avenging their earlier loss to Team NJ ABC in the championship. Winning the MDC won’t be easy because the competition will be thick and regional powerhouse Youth Interlock has entered the field to crash the party.
Is Team NJ ABC New Jersey’s Top Squad?After winning the New Heights tourney, making a deep run at the MLK Classic and a runner up finish in Atlantic City. Team NJ ABC has to be in the running for the top spot in NJ. This squad has matured under coach Khaliq Lewis EL and has the pieces to dethrone state champ King Street Kings. They are battled tested and have tasted success so look out for this Trenton based squad the rest of the way.
Who’s Matt Reese?
The talk from MLK Complex was about this 6’3 silky smooth wing guard that plays for Team Final. I didn’t personally see Reese in action but my staff member told me he was by far the top prospect in this division. This holds serious weight with me because the staff member that gave the report is very difficult to impress. Matt I will personally check you out during the MDC. Be Ready!
Love found home?Jerron Love traveled to the Atlantic City Showcase with Team Underrated. This guard is one of the most point men in the region. Team Underrated could use his services and with Chris Davis this would be a very exciting backcourt. We will keep you posted as TU has confirmed their spot at the MDC.
