Did they choose players for all-tournament team? If so anyone know names?

Congrats to the Indians, they fought through adversity there at the end and won it in the extra period. Congrats Coach Macke.

Houston and Macke are really nice players. Tonight was the first time I have seen HC Frosh team. The little pg does a nice job also..

The HC PG was the difference tonight - CCH tried to pressure the ball on top to force turnovers and not only did the HC PG not turn it over, he scored and assisted after beating the pressure. Can't believe he didn't make all tournament.

I have a feeling the CCH coaching staff will really challenge the guards from this team to step up over the summer. With Davin, Thelen, Coldiron, and Fleek they have 4 bigs who can really play. If they can develop a better perimeter game watch out.

I'm still trying to figure out how the PG for HC didn't make the all tournament team...kid did a really nice job of controlling the ball, forced a couple of turn overs, hit some big shots and dropped some nice assist.

All tournament team from what I remember (I know I'm missing about half)

Macke
Houston
Coldiron
Fleek
Becker
Shilling
Miles
Ginn
Ollier

I know there were a bunch more...Holy Cross had 4, CC 3, WV 2, Beechwood 2, and one player from each school. Nice accomplishment for all of these young men. Lets check back in 3 years and see how this group ends up.

Overall a very good tournament. Highlands took Beechwood to the final seconds and could've advanced to play HC. Beechwood played HC very closely as well. HC led by former Highlands player Macke wins the Tourney.

Would've been an interesting year if Macke and Finn (Cincy St X) were still on that Highlands roster. IMO they win the Region. But if If's and but's were candy and nuts....you know the saying.

Congratulations to Coach Macke and her Holy Cross Indians! They had a great game plan and executed it to perfection.

Saw video of the final 7 seconds and not how I would've drawn it up. Tough turnover for the young Colonel.

Add Baugh from Beechwood and Karim from Cov Cath to the list.
