Magic 16 Elites win Denver DoublePump Tourney

The MN Magic 16U Elites won the DoublePump tourney in Denver this weekend. 40 college coaches in attendance at the title game from all over the west coast (UCLA, Arizona, Washington St, Oregon, Gonzaga, Colorado, Colorado St, Nevada just to name a few of the teams looking on). Some notes from their games today.

vs Colorado Hawks, Kevin Noreen with a buzzer beater to win that game.

vs Martin Brothers Select, a top team from Iowa with 6-9 PF Jordan Dykstra, an Iowa State recruit who may be the best player in Iowa (see also Brennan Cougill). Marshall Bjorklund with 20 points in the game, Dykstra held to 6 in a 10 pt win. Very impressive. Lets hope Bjorklund gets a game here in the metro next year cause he's worth the price of admission.

vs Bay City All-Stars (San Francisco). Chad Calcaterra and Bjorklund with double-doubles in a 12 pt win.

In the championship game, Noreen 13 pts, Bjorklund 10, Jack Ghizoni 8, Calcaterra and Taylor Filipek each with 6 in the 54-52 win. Congrats to the Magic on a great weekend. They play in the Magic Invite at Jefferson next weekend.
