CHS Hoops Fest

This weekend the Maverick's played the CHS Hoops Fest tourny.  Our coach discussed playing a one day tourny in Jamestown instead to give us a chance to play some different teams from the Eastern part of the state, but the parents preferred to stay local.  We played Rough Justice, Warrior Pride, the Storm and the Cougars.  A near identical set of competitors from the BHS tournament a few weeks ago.

First up was Rough Justice.  We've only played them once this year, and they beat us.  Same result this game.  It was a close game with several lead changes.  Mavericks were up by 3 with a few minutes left to play, then fell apart and lost by 9.  Jonathan has zero points and 4 rebounds.

Next was the Warrior Pride.  Mavs won by 30 plus points.  J had 2 points and 4 rebounds.

This morning, we started our day against the Storm.  This team has been more competitive this year than they were last year.  Our games with them this year have been close.  This morning we beat them by close to 20 points.  J had 2 points, 5 rebounds, and one block.

 I believe Jacob sunk this shot

The Mavericks had the #2 seed from their pool, so they next played the #2 seed from the other pool for 3rd place.  Ugh.  The Cougars.  It was another typical Cougars-Mavericks game, with several lead changes.  I don't think either team ever led by more than 5 points.  I think they were up by 3 at halftime.  It was tense.  It was tied at the end of regulation.  3 minutes overtime.  Mavericks win by 2.  The boys all played so hard.  The Cougars have a great group of boys on their team.  They show good sportsmanship every time we play them.  Hate to see either team have to 'lose' the way both teams played.

As with most of the tense games, I did not focus too much energy on pictures.  These were the only 3 I took of that game!

So proud of they way our team played and how they never gave up in OT! 

Only one tournament left-The Fast Break Jr Grand Am in Grand Forks 2 weeks from now.  Will we face the Fargo Flames????
