Leo LaRocca Sand Dunes Classic

[Scott2138]

A really nice turnout for the Sand Dunes. Congrats to SI men club for putting another fine tournament in the books.

Take aways:

Logan will be a force if they stay healthy. A very good coach; It will be fun to follow them. They had a great tournament.
Branson will be competitive all year. They are well coached.
SI will be competitive and even stronger next year; I see their length neutralizing SHC. The Bruce-Mahoney was once thought as a slam-dunk this year for Irish. Not sure now. Marcheletti doing a fine job molding a team that is his own. Things are looking up in the Sunset.
Burlingame was stronger than anticipated and will be fun to see them play HMB later in year. A solid team, with very good one-two punch. Hope they stay healthy.
Mission will not be challenged in AAA. Once their 6'5 center, power forward and starting point guard come (they have more?) back in January from injury, they will not be challenged until NorCal D IV.

Other than Will Emery who is there length for next year? SHC strength is there speed, however, they are playing like individual race cars on the track now, they need to drive as a group and cruise. SI has some nice sophs on board, but they are guards. I don't think the Bruce Mahoney is ever a slam dunk for either school..other than football for SI who gets that first leg up usually. You get to basketball and baseball, SHC will have a chance.

Found the program for the Sand Dunes, but no assistants for James Logan are listed.
