Ind. Elite won big tonight, 71-45. Zollo had something like 15-18 points. They beat Ky Blazers, Chane Behanan played for them tonight.

 

Chane Behanen played for the KY Blazer tonight? or Indy Elite?

He just joined that team, he was "sitting" with the Nashville Celtics at the Adidas Takes 5 just a couple of days ago. He should have stayed with a team where he actually saw PT, you need PT and college coaches do not care what team you are one, as long as they see you play hard, that is all that matters. He has been with at least 4 teams so far this year.

 

Yeah. I agree with you here. Coaches arent worried about any organization. You must prove yourself. Setty is a good player, but generally at this point in the summer, teams have allready developed a certain type of game. I guess he felt the SS would be good for him. He appeared to just be running up and down the floor in the game I saw the SS play Camp Daryll. Maybe they were just working him in though.

Chane Behanen played for the Ky Blazers.

Tonight CBIZ defeated Common Bond by 6 or 7 points. They are a very fundamentally sound team. A spectator told me that the kids are from different areas in Ohio, including: Peebles, Dayton, Findley, Cleveland and Toledo. Every kid on the team could shoot the ball if needed and they rebounded very soundly. Common Bond missed some critical shots late in the game, that they had made in an earlier game.

 

Club Ohio also defeated a team known as Select. It appeared to be a very sloppy game and was low scoring. Club Ohio won by 3. Select had a chance late off of a turnover, but a last second 3 point try was blocked.

 

Also, so im breaking news that I am hearing about. DSAS has made it into the tournament. A team known as "Mission" from Canada, has dropped out of the tournament after one game (a loss to CBIZ), and DSAS will be replacing them. They way I understand it and was told by one person was that DSAS will take a forfeit for the first game and will play against the NKY Bulldogs at 8am tomorrow morning. This should be quite a test for the Bulldogs. But, if they play DSAS like they do everyone else, they could compete. Though dont forget, DSAS is cream of the crop in KY right now.

 

I hope everything is okay for the Mission team from Canada.

Ice won this morning against Carolina Drive. They lost a close one against Evansville Bball Club. They were up 15 and ran out of gas and lost in the last 4 secs. They were without their 2 starting big men - Kiesling (family reunion) and Dunagan (will play Fri-Sun). They can still win the pool but will need help. Last pool game is at 6pm Friday at Hoops.

 

With good reason, multiple coaches have been talking about several players on the Ice but focus seems to be on Fucci.

Were Zollo and Behanan matched up at all? Interested in knowing how that went, if so.

Shining Stars McFarland by 3 in a hard-fought game over the Cincinnati Royals. They are 2-0 in pool play. Flannery hit a key shot and free throws in the end.

 

Shining Stars Blue lost by 5 to Wisconsin Swing (state champs or runners up) in a very physical game that was pretty one-sided in the officiating. SS players were banged up pretty good with cut lips, bloody noses, etc. This was a 2 point game until the last two minutes. It was SS Blue's third game of the day between Indy and Louisville, and 10th game in 4 days. They are 1-1 in pool play. Next is Gulf Coast Rams (Florida).

Shining Star-Jackson is 2-0 in pool play with wins over Evansville Hornets (IN) 58-50 and Team Speights (FL) 69-57.

Is this the Shining Stars team that Vance Hall plays for?

Yes it is. That team looked very good yesterday. They really shot the ball very well and played great team basketball. Casey Jackson was stroking the 3 ball yesterday.

Happened to see that the Derek Smith All-Stars made it into the tournament. How does that work? Also happend to catch the end of their game this mornin. They lost to the NKY Bulldogs. Who plays for them?

DS is playing and they played this morning without Shaklin and Faunt and someone else and got beat a few points. Robbie Stenzel had a good game scoring somewhere in the 20's. They play again at 8 tonight

For those of you who did not get to see the early 8am game between DSAS and the NKY Bulldogs, you missed a real good win for a local Northern Kentucky team.

 

The NKY Bulldogs did not just win this game, they took it to the DSAS. They eventually won the game by 9 points i believe it was, but they led and were in control nearly the whole game.. The Bulldogs came out and did not look intimidated and really played fundamentally sound. They appeared well prepared and ready to play this game.

 

In the game, and these stats are approximate... Bobby Stauffer (Ryle Highschool) was a force down low with 21-23 points. Jake Flesch (Conner Highschool) 10-11 pts and fantastic defense. Jack Stewart (Highlands Highschool) 10-12 points. Matt Trammel finished with 11 pts I believe and hit some key free throws late. Travis Montgomery (Boone County High) had a good first half with about 10 pts. Other notables were the whole team. All of the boys played very well and should keep their heads on straight and work really hard. That's what it's about. Really good team.

 

The DSAS of course would not go laying down. They are obviously a very good team that everyone knows about and play with 6 or 7 of the top players in the state at their age level. Timmy Knipp was great in the first half with 18 points or so.He was then quieted in the second half with adjustments made, but he still made an impact early. Remy Abell was really good and has the ability to slash to the rim like few others can. He finished with 22 or so points and had a 3 or 4 very nice passes. Robbie Stenzel is also a really good player with a unique slashing ability and is a good shooter. He had 13 or so.

 

This was a good early game, and I wish the best of luck to both teams from this point going forward. Im sure both teams will now look forward and put this one behind them.

You make it seem like the Bulldogs didnt earn this win. Like it was given to them. I watched this game because I really like what DSAS does, plus that Bulldogs team gives many teams problems, and the NKY Bulldogs went out and took this game. I mean how many top 10 players do you need on one team to get the win? Fant and Shanklin take points away from other players on the floor in this game. And... I was keeping track of Stenzel, big fan, and hes a great player, absolutely no doubt. He did not finish with points in the 20's. He had 13, to 15 at the most.

Did the Shining Stars 16U team with Schuette, Smith, Gilbert, Pawsett etc., etc., win this morning?

 

I saw they had a HUGE win yesterday, some 89-25. Wow.

 

I also noticed that Zeke Pike isnt playing with them. I like his game. Where is he this weekend?
