The Holiday Classic: Shadow Mountain Recap
This week was the The Holiday Classic, hosted by Torrey Pines High School. There were many teams that entered the tournament, with a ton of talented young players. I decided to take the trip out to San Diego and cover 4 of the AZ teams that entered the tournament. Those teams include: Shadow Mountain. Cienega, Mountain Pointe, and Salpointe. Here is the recap for Shadow Mountain:
Shadow Mountain entered the highest division, the National Division, and they did quite well for themselves.
Day 1: Shadow Mountain matched up against La Jolla Country Day and won 101-75, making a huge statement on day 1.
Day 2: Shadow Mountain matched up against St. Augustine and won 72-64.
Day 3: Shadow Mountain played Foothills Christian in the National Division Semi-Finals. Shadow Mountain made a huge statement going into the Championship by winning 81-59.
Day 4: Shadow Mountain drew a tough match up against the very dangerous, Mission Bay. This was a high level match up as it paired Jaelen House and Boogie Ellis against each other. These two did not disappoint. Shadow Mountain won 82-62 and Jaelen House made a very big statement by winning the individual match up against Boogie Ellis.
