The 17U Weekend Review with Updated Records
Here is your weekend Minnesota 17U recap and your updated records for the state.
Omaha. This weekend the SPTS and SPBL were played. Minnesota Fury Wilde went undefeated with good wins over the Rise and Heat MacDonald plus an 60-36 win over the Schoolers. Minnesota Select suffered their first loss of the season (to the Omaha Crusaders National team 72-66) but then bounced back to beat the Comets, SW Stars, and Fury Narum. Heat MacDonald, Comets Elite, and Fury Narum all went 2-2. In the second league, Select Mantey continued their recent surge with a 4-0 record. Comets Petermier was a strong 3-1.
Ames. The Sizzle crushed the teams they faced in Iowa by 34, 42, 50, and 16 points. It was an Iowa Battlers team that I think is new, a couple teams from Powerhouse Nebraska (that may be a new program as well, not sure), and then the last game was against the top All Iowa Attack team I believe (the 16 point game). Sizzle Caldwell won three of four while Northstar Titans Barker lost three of four including a 71-60 game to Sizzle Caldwell.
Fort Wayne. The only Minnesota team to head to the Run N Slam this year (at 17U) was Howard Pulley. The Panthers beat Illinois Hoopstars (not the AJ Storr team, the UA Rise team which also has good players) and Beyond Ball (the team with Terrence Brown Terrence Brown 6'0" | PG Columbia Heights | 2022 State MN out of Iowa). They lost to Grand Park Premier (UA Rise team from Indiana) and Breakaway Basketball (from Illinois).
Meg Vang Memorial Tournament. This year the Meg Vang was a one day event at Forest Lake High School with teams playing round robin pools. Heat Grow won the top pool beating Playmakers North, MSP Elite, and MFS, and all games were by large margins. Real Phenom Nick won the second pool beating Starks Elite, Rip City, and Heat Hoyt. Crossfire Pederson won pool three, Select Larkin won pool four, and then the separate two group divisions that were two pools of three with an end champ, that was won by Hustle Hard over Powerhouse MN.
Update. Here are the 17 and Under Records I have put together. NOT RANKINGS. Records. I’m sure I made some mistakes on who goes were as I look back and forth between computers and I’m sure somebody played in an event last weekend I wasn’t aware of. You can tweet to me and I will fix it. AND, these are NOT RANKINGS at this point.
