I want to take the opportunity to thank everyone that came out to our tournament.
It was a great weekend of Basketball. The games were great, and the house was packed each night. It truly was a 3 day basketball party.
I had a great time playing host, helping run, and visiting with all the Hoopaholics that come out every year.
Award for most Outstanding Player, Anthony Roy.
All Tournament Team:
Jaden Saunders, Devon Jackson (Dublin) Te’Jon Sawyer, Shane Bell (Salesian) Carter Mahaney, Aidan Mahaney (Campolindo) Bryce Monroe, Je’Lani Clark ( Riordan) Darrion Williams ( Capital Christian)
Another Tournament Queen was crowned: Alyra Andes gets to Rein for the year
Some take a ways:
This was Dublin’s 6th year at Gridley, and first time making the finals, and winning.
There were some very good looking under class-men.
Freshman Courtney Anderson 6’4’ ( Salesian) got his first look on Varsity at the Tournament. We will see him getting more playing time this year as he develops.
Another standout is 9th grader is Kodey Weary ( Weston Ranch.) I was very impressed with his size, 6’4’, and very mobile. He looks like he has a lot more growth potential in him. This kid is someone I expect big things from.
Sophomore Darrion Williams (Capital Christian). Has a nice up side If he keeps growing. Strong body, plays mature.
Mor Seck shows big upside being in the 7 foot range.
Aidan Mahaney, Campolindo’s super Soph had a 3 day total of 71 points. Just getting nudged out by Bryce Monroe’s tournament leading 75.
When Bryce Monroe went off for 31 points in the first half of the Riordan’s last game. I started thinking about the Tournaments all time record for a 3 day’s event, that it might be in jeopardy.
The record is 105 points set in 1968, This was before the three point line was instituted. That’s 35 points, or 17 baskets per game. Crazy numbers!
It was set by none other than Gridley’s own, Jay Olson.
In 1999 Stephon Harris (Luther Burbank) came closest with 104, having his last shot hit the rim, bouncing around, and rimming out. You can believe the crowed went berserk.
I will see you in the cheap seats.
Here’s wishing you great hoops
