IOWA STATE AAU TOURNAMENT
Des Moines Hoover
JUNIOR ELIGIBLE D1 CHAMPIONSHIP
IBCA SELECT RED 61,
TEAM IOWA 44
IBCA Select Red beat Team Iowa for the Junior Eligible D1 championship 61-44. IBCA is made up of veterans--09s and 10s. Team Iowa is made up entirely from the 2011 class. Team Iowa is not only young, but they look like they have been cut from the same cloth. All are between 5-9 and 6-2 with the average coming in at 5-11. They are all lean and athletic.
IBCA scored on their first possession with an inside bucket by Kionna Kellogg. Team Iowa
started off the game with a 1/7 sequence as IBCA built up a 6-2 lead. IBCA was scoring in the paint against the youngsters. IBCA led 11-4 after a pair of free throws by Amber Kirschbaum with 1:05 left. Team Iowa was able to break the IBCA press for two and on the next possession cut the margin to 11-8 on a put back by Virginia Johnson.
Team Iowa tied the game at 12 after a three by Lindsey Smith followed by a free throw by Smith on the next possession. After that Team Iowa went into a four possession drought on four straight turnovers. IBCA milked that opportunity with five straight scores, two scores on transition lay ups, to pull out 20-12. IBCA continued their hot hand with an 8/9 sequence overall. Trisha Nesbitt was hot for IBCA with seven in the second quarter, 11 for the half. For Team Iowa Smith matched Nesbitt with 7 for the quarter, six coming on two 3s. It was 33-22 IBCA at the half.
Team Iowa was able to narrow the margin to 41-34 with 2:20 to go in the third on a drive by Allison Emrich. IBCA, despite being out sized as a team, did a fair job on the offe
nsive boards and Jessica McDowell made two free throws after IBCA had three cracks at scoring. IBCA had four points in the quarter on second chancers. Nesbitt added a 3 for a 46-34 IBCA lead heading into the fourth.
The changing defense and savvy veteran play kept Team Iowa at arms length. Team Iowa never got the margin to single digits again in the fourth. The last two minutes were empty of scoring however. IBCA had a five possession drought down the stretch before Katelyn Sunde scored, while Team Iowa finished the contest with seven consecutive empty trips.
This was a good experience for Team Iowa making it to the finals in the AAU State tournament two years ahead of schedule. Cutting down on turnovers will be a key for their summer season. Now most of the Iowa teams won't take the floor again until June.

I am adding a new feature--for better use of a word it is assists, but not in the technical sense of the word. These are the players that gave the ball to the next scorer. So if the scorer drove into score the passer gets credit in this system. It is more like the hockey assist. I will only be able to do this when Coach Teas is taking photos.
