MORE MYAS STATE TOURNAMENT RESULTS
17u D2
Amber Dvorak, who is pretty dominant at this level, led the Minnesota Gym Rats to the championship 58-36 over the Urban Stars at Hopkins. The Lady Slippers came through the back door and went 5-1 to take third place.
15U D1
Minnesota Stars Jihad (the Lady Cats) beat Fury Blue (Livers) 53-45 for the 15 D1 Championship at Blaine. The Lady Cats have been playing 15U AAU all year (16U MYAS equivalent) but dropped down to play this tournament.
Here is a photo of the Fury Blue Livers.
15U D2
Minnesota Crush, a team made up of mostly 8th graders from the Burnsville area and a couple of players from Chaska and a player from Shakopee, played in the MYAS Spring State Tournament this past weekend at Hopkins. Playing in the 15U Division II group, the Crush defeated Minnetonka (seed 15) and the Rochester Heat (seed 3) to win their pool. In bracket play they defeated the SM Magic (seed 6), then lost to the Lady Katz (seed 2) in the semifinals. In their last game they defeated the number 1 seeded 43 Hoops to take 3rd place in the tournament.
The Lady Lightning beat the Lady Katz 29-28 in the championship.
13u/7th GRADE
Hopkins won the 13u/7th grade MYAS D1 Tournament. Most of the teams were 12U playing in the MYAS state tournament at the 13U/7th grade level. Most of the Hopkins team was part of the traveling state champion team this past winter. The girls are not trying to travel out of town and do the AAU circuit. Most play other spring sports. Former Gopher Richard Coffey is their coach and they did not loose a game all spring.
12u/6th GRADE
The Minnesota Stars (Farview), coached by Percy Wade and Rico Alexander won the 6th Grade Division 1 MYAS State Championships at Benilde-St. Margaret's by beating St. Paul Central 45-24. The teams had played a week earlier in the 11U AAU District Championships with the MN Stars having won that game also. The MN Stars roster includes: Alexis Alexander, Idella Jackson, Madison Lee, Naja Woods, Tonoia Wade, Emily Peters, Kenish Bell, Isieoma Odor, Genevea Adkins, and Rajanee Michaels.
The MN Stars will be playing in the Battle of the Hardwoods and then taking their show on the road with playing at MYAB Summer Kickoff in Wichita, Ks, the Adidas Midwest Girls Classic in Ames, Iowa and then wrapping up what has been a great season, having won 4 out of 5 tournaments so far, at the 11U AAU Nationals in Branson, Missouri.
