For the first time ever the 13U rankings had no movement. Here’s a look at who we feel are the Top 10 teams in the region. These rankings are just our opinion and should be taken as such.
Basketball Spotlight 13U Top 10 Presented By AGame Apparel
1. DC Assault: Assault won the PV Regional Crown and probably will finish as the top rated team in our poll. But this year the Grand Champion will be crowned on the floor at Summer Slam. Unfortunately, they won’t have enough points to qualify.
2. NYC Gauchos: The Choz have a Metropolitan Championship date with New Heights on Memorial Day. But before that they will make an appearance at the MDC and rack up more points for Summer Slam.
3. F.A.C.E.S.: The Killer Bees won the 13U NJ State crown and currently lead the Division in Summer Slam points. This might be the year Coach Cole and his group has the last laugh. They are a lock for Summer Slam.
4. Team Final: TF had a personnel issue but have regrouped and are now playing in the NJ State tourney. They will be definitely focused on defending their MDC crown at the end of May.
5. Force One: FO finished second to #1 DC Assault in their regional championship. They have a strong bunch and we look forward to checking some of their players out at the Super Showcase in August.
6. Team Scan: TS has a chance at Summer Slam and could play the spoiler for other teams. They will be on a mission once they touch down in Neptune for the MDC. It’s on baby!
7. New Heights: NH has opted to head to Albany for Memorial Day Weekend for a tune up before their showdown against Gauchos. We haven’t seen this group in a while but hopefully we will catch a few of their studs at the showcase.
8. CT Elite: The Connecticut boys have to make a deep run if they have any Summer Slam aspirations. Thomas Automatic Jackson will be suiting up for the MDC so things could get interesting.
9. Philly Triple Threat: PTT cause a lot of rumblings this season and we look forward to watching a few of their players at the Super Showcase. They have tremendous guard play.
10. MABC: MABC has one more chance to get it right and the MDC will be their stage. Last year they made it to the Final Four and we are looking for a repeat performance.
