OK we are half way home. Most teams have 10 to 15 games under their belt. Who are the best teams in each age division?

 

6th grade I would say:

1. Twenhofel, Racke is to big and strong for most teams to stop. He does it inside and outside. With the two little guards with him they will be tough to beat.

 

2. Grey, lots of size with Ross and Angel. Angel has picked up his second technical of the season. One more and he is out for the season. Would be a huge loss for them. They lack in guard play, with only one true gruard.

 

3. Blessed Sacerment, Maybe the best starting five lead by Vonhandorf. Loss to Twenhofel at Twenhofel by 4 I believe. Dont play Grey till last week of the season.

 

These three are heads above the other teams. Okerman did beat Twenhofel but Twenhofel was up big and put it some subs and it snowballed down hill for them. Woodland is a one man show with Ohmer but will beat teams when he is on. Connor and Summit View both getting better with every game, a sign of good coaching.

 

7th grade, I haven't seen them yet. But I hear Beechwood is the team to beat?

 

Blessed Sacerment beat Twenhofel in the Dayton Tourny yesterday. Leaves BS and SVMS as the only two undefeated teams. Twenhofel should easily come out of the loser bracket and could still the tournament.

Woodland'a eighth grade team is okay this year. like last year, they don't really work together well. The two players that standout though are Nick Cramer(SF?) and Blake Schneider(SG).

Blake is by far the best and most advanced player on that team! He can create his own shots and score, he has a good basketball IQ and for shooting guard he can handle the ball pretty well.

Nick is a very versatile player. He can score inside but can also back out and shoot from mid-range. He needs to work on his outside shot and should be more dominating when rebounding but that will come eventually.

Turkeyfoot 8th grade boys defeated Gray and Walton to win their own tournament last night. Gray 7th grade boys win over Turkeyfoot to win the 7th grade Turkeyfoot Invitational. Both Championship games were down to the wire.

Highlands 7th grade wins the Dayton Holiday Tourney with a victory over Beechwood by a score of 49-40. Well played game by both sides and each program has a lot to look forward to in the future if these kids continue to develop and most importantly continue to play the game of basketball.

I think you meant Walton beat Gray and then lost to Turkeyfoot in the 8th grade final last night. If I'm not mistaken Turkeyfoot only had to play one game last night.

Who won the 8th grade?

Summit View defeated Highlands last night and advanced to play St. Joseph - Cold Spring. They have to beat them twice. Game one was today I believe.

Turkey Foot 8th grade were in the winners bracket final and Walton and Gray were in the loser brackets. In the 7th grade tournament this was pool play with Turkey Foot beating Walton and Gray beating Woodland to meet each other in the finals. Both final games went down to the wire both were 3pt spreads.
