Well I finally figured out how to connect to the internet from the Homewood Suites.

Here are the results from the final round of pool play:
Daubert Pinnacle Nebraska 60, MN Metro Stars White 37...DPN looked strong. Kelsey Woodward of DPN caught our eye.
Triple Threat 55, ND ECI East 35....Patrice Thomas did not make the trip for TT. Also Thomas will be attending Bloomington Kennedy next season according to sources on TT. Brittany Mayclin has registered for classes at Benilde-St. Margaret's
ECI Select West 70, Northern Lites 56...Size wore NL down
MN Metro Stars Black 52, Iowa Elite I 50....Queen scored game winner for MMSB. Iowa Elite was down to four players for the last minute+ due to fouls, an injury, and only six players ready to play.
Prairie Shooters 51, MN Summitt 33....The Mandan based Prairie Shooters caused havoc with their press
SD Elite 72, Iowa Elite II 50....The best guard contingent. Good awareness, and fun to watch.
IBCA Iowa Select II 64, SD Riders 54...an upset of sorts, SD Riders moved on to the championship round even with the loss. Iowa Select II headed to the consolation round.
IBCA Iowa Select I 67, MN North Tartan Blue 45....Strong dominating first half performance by IISI gave them a big cushion.

More details, full boxes, are found at the Dakota Showcase site.

I will be going through these games in detail later in the week. I will have photos as well as a reliable source grabbed the shots.
