Bob Gibbons Tournament of Champions

 

OK, let's be honest: Maurice Miller probably hoped for a better spring than he's been able to deliver. Held back by a team that lacks star talent around him and some tough individual match ups that have made him appear less quick than once believed, Miller showed renewed vigor on Saturday. He didn't light up the game we watched, but the 6-1 PG was able to get to the basket for buckets and fouls, and he also made lots of unselfish plays that impressed us as acts of principle, even if he realized that he teammate in question may not finish the play. Miller absolutely thinks and plays the game the right way, and that's a great way to curry favor with coaches. In the process he made the All Tournament Team at Bob Gibbons.

AAU State @ Bishop Byrne

 

News and notes from the 17 and under state.
The finals of the 17 and under state tournament commenced with an outstanding battle between the Memphis Tigers and the Mid-State Ballerz Elite. The Tigers got an NBA range 3-pointer at the buzzer from Broderick Gilcrest (Hamilton) to force overtime and then Gilcrest and William Green (Fairley) dropped bombs and the Memphis Tigers slipped by the Ballerz 78-74.

The Tigers led by double digits at the half before the Ballerz closed the gap and took the lead late in the contest. The Ballerz got inspired play from Jewon Long (Liberty), who despite an injury came to play on Sunday. Long was unable to make the trip until the final day but his presence made a huge difference for the Ballerz in their semi-final victory over the Memphis YOMCA and the finals loss to the Tigers. Kevin Smith (Riverdale) and
Catarious Taylor (Brighton) played well for the Ballerz the entire weekend.

Myron Strong (Hamilton) and his teammate Gilcrest proved to all in attendance that they are among the state's best in the backcourt. Also playing well for the Tigers was Green, Donald Harris (Hamilton) and Josh Street (Craigmont).
Green played well the entire weekend including a last second three to push the Tigers over the Tennessee Thunder and a date with the Ballerz in the final.

In the consolation game the Tennessee Thunder defeated the Memphis YOMCA behind Wil Peters (White's Creek), Matt Harris (Brentwood) and playing well on Sunday was Michael McAdoo (Antioch), who returned to action after a serious mouth injury. The YOMCA finished Saturday as the only unbeaten team before losing twice on Sunday. Ricky Taylor (Haywood County) was sterling all weekend from all over the floor.

Despite missing a majority of their roster due to injury the Mid-State Ballerz Elite 16's defeated the Nashville Stallions to capture the 5th place spot. The Elite were missing the services of Tyrone Caldwell, Kevin Giltner, Latavious Williams, Rayshawn Walker and Justin Hearn. Tyshaun Edmondson (Kentucky) was especially solid including a 45 point effort on Saturday. The Stallions played hard all weekend using tough effort and team play to stay in every game. The Stallions got solid effort from Demond Craig (Mt. Juliet) who led them from the lead guard spot all tourney.

The Mid-State Ballerz Seelct captured the seventh place game with a victory over the Franklin Rage. The Select had superb effort from Markeese Curry (Jackson Southside) and Corey Payne (Mt. Juliet). The Select had the distinction of being the only team that defeated the Tigers the entire weekend.
