| Ohio Bball Club Black-Spartan Showcases Classic Champs |
It
was a busy weekend for Ohio middle school teams. The Ohio Basketball Club Black 2021 (OBC) got
off to a fast 2016 season with a tournament win at the Alex Doody Super Showcase in Gates Mill, Oh. For the weekend, OBC finished 1-1, in pool
play with a win over the Mansfield Cavs Underdogs (58-27) and a loss to SMAC
Future (54-30). On their trek to the title on Sunday, OBC defeated SMAC Future
54-30 and Maximum Potential 59-17 in the first 2 rounds before defeating SMAC Attack
67-60 in the championship game.
In
the final game, OBC was paced by Jayden
Ballard who finished with a game-high 25 points, followed by MarSaun Robinson with 11 points and Tae Perie who added 10 points. For the entire tournament, standouts for OBC
included Jayden Ballard, MarSaun Robinson,
Tae Perie and Kyree Young. Next, OBC will take their 4-1 overall record
to the Twin Cites tournament next week before heading up to Manheim, PA. for
league play. Congratulations to OBC for
their fast start. Also, thanks to the
coaching staff for completing and returning the new Tournament Results Report
Form; it really helps us out with tracking team and player’s progress!
We
would like to give a shout out to the 2023 Cincinnati Royals who attended the Spartan Showcase Classic and won the 5th grade division. Their Sunday run to the championship included
wins over Illinois Blaze (39-22), Bollingbrook Magic (44-23) and Illinois
Attack (47-35). As a side note, the Maumee bay Turf advanced to bracket play
but was defeated in the first round by NCBC (50-41). This result is relevant to our Power Rankings,
which will be released this week.
Finally,
Ohio-based teams did really well in Michigan, as Tony Kynard’s 2022 Toledo Wildcats
won the 6th grade division of the Spartan Classic Showcase as well. Congratulations to all of the Ohio teams for representing
the Buckeye State so well!
