Final Comets Shootout thoughts

It's nearly 10 days since the Shootout. I apologize for this coming so few and far between. I will give you some quick thoughts on each division, and see what I thought.

14U boys- Didn't see a single game, although Midtown Kings vs. PRIDE was supposed to be a good game.

15Uboys- 43 Hoops vs. Comets Elite was as good of a final as we've had. Comets foul 4 times in the last 25 seconds, and 43 goes 1 for 6 from the line, but the one was all they needed. 61 Comets 60 43 Hoops.

16U Boys- My Comets Elite struggled to get 2 wins in pool play, then won the quarters by 25 over Comets White(who did great to get to the elite 8) then by 5 in the semis, and rallied from 10 down in the final. Fun group of guys, we got our 1st title, hopefully there is more to come.

17U- what a field, seriously what a field. FINAL 4 of Comets Elite, Pump N Run, 43 Harris, Fury Elite. 4 of the best 7 or 8 teams in MN, all in final 4. Pump over 43 Harris in Final. Comets Elite vs. Pump N Run was game of the tournament.

Girls

Silver-
Lady Monarchs, run through division, Comets Blue take 4th

Gold- Comets Blue 15's go 2-2 and lose in the semis, lost to both teams who made finals, good warmup for them.

Platinum- Fure vs 43 Hoops in final. Very close, last second win for the Fury.

I thought it was a good weekend for everyone.

2.5 weeks

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while, I expect to a lot this AAU season, but with girls tryouts then boys tryouts, it get's hectic.

I agreed 100 percent with the all area team this year,and once again all 5 guys play for the MN Comets, that is 3 out of the last 4 years with the other year us getting 4/5.

With Hanks/Kornbaum returning and guys like Noreen, Januschka, Nystrom, Abukar, Willenbring all in Comets Unis again this spring, I would imagine we go 3 straight years.
