In 15U, Heat Select lost to Indiana Elite in the quarterfinals. Fury Black def Net Gain 14s, then MN Elite to make the semifinals. MN PNR beat TC Force and then Nebraska Bison Gold in quartes. Fury Black vs MN PNR is an interesting semifinal game.
Now besides being swarmed by NSIC coaches during the PNR 16s loss to Ultimate Hoops and mocked for looking like a kid who went on the court to shoot, thank you coolest guy in the NSIC :) , my real highlight of the day wasn't watching games at all. I had a chance to talk hoops and life with a couple of different players during the day. To see kids who get it and appreciate what their coaches have done for them is a real pleasure. Not unheard of to not fully appreciate it until long after it's over. Always nice to hear stories of kids having a good experience not just on the court but off of it as well.
