Inside The MDC 13U
Team Takeover Gets Over The Hump!
They say three is a charm but I think Team Takeover prefers the number four. On their fourth trip to the Basketball Spotlight tournaments they finally took home the crown. The road to the title wasn’t easy as they got through a brutal pool and defeated NJ Champs KYDA by one point twice. Shouts out to the PV boys for taking the Gold Ball down 95 South see you guys soon.
KYDA Alive And Well
The buzz before the MDC was the apparent breakup of NJ State Champs KYDA but from the looks of things they were ready to go at the MDC. I like the size they added with Bobby Martin Jr. and when Manny Taylor gets healthy they will be a team to reckon with. In the backcourt adding one guard for depth also seems to be a good idea. All in all being one point away from winning the Gold Ball was definitely a good look for team that was supposed to be finished.
