NORTH TARTAN SHOWCASE
Team 8 74, Team 1 53

Team 8 won this game because they were a bit more consistent that team 1. These events are set up for up & down action---25 minute running time, kids get a point if they are fouled, and they only shoot one free throw. No one came here to watch a free throw parade. With all the kids, and no one really familiar with everyone, offense, or those players that are more aggressive, have the better days.
In this case team 8 led 17-12, but exploded on a 26-6 run. At one point Team 8 scored on five straight possessions with different players contributing each time. Most of the times if a player didn't score, it was due to missed shots. In other words, turnovers and defensive pressure weren't really factors. Shakila Boler had 11 points in the first half for team 8.
In the second half Team 8 again had a 20-6 run to open the half. Jenny Gilbertson had a strong beginning this half with six points in the run. Team 8 led 66-30 at this point. Team 1 also had their own run with a 15-4 run later in the half to make it 71-49. They also had a five possession sequence in which they scored. Tempestt Wilson had 10 points in this half.

BY THE NUMBERS
Team 8 74, 66, 112.1, 561
Team 1 53, 68, 77.9, .397

Team 8 had better speed up and down the line up. They connected quicker, and had better positions on rebounding.

Earlier in the day I saw Team 3 and Team 4 won by Team 4 47-42. Since I didn't see the full game I am not running the numbers on this game. In that game Katelin Loberg was the force for team 3 inside. When I was watching she had six to lead both teams. She can run and moves well for a big kid. But it was Team 4 that won. They had more perimeter shooters like Ana Garcia and Katie Zavodny helped 4 over the top.
