Battle of the Hardwood
Woodbury High School
17u Pool Play
ALL IOWA ATTACK 45, KLD 15

This game was almost the flip side of the first game today. That game featured the high octane offense of NC Heat which set a record for pp100 (137.5) for older teams. In this game it was KLD testing the bottom of the margin with a 28.9 pp100, the second lowest this summer. KLD is a team made up of Rogers players. It was the only school based team in the 17u division. More often than not those teams are usually playing in MYAS events.

It was a slow start for both teams. AIA didn't score a basket until their 7th possession. KLD went longer---their 12th before finding the bottom of the net. It was 6-3 with nine minutes to go when AIA's Sam Abens came in off the bench and struck gold at the end of the rainbow with two consecutive threes. That ignited a 10-3 run. Even then AIA didn't crack the 20 point barrier until the second half. It was AIA up at half 18-10.

The shorthanded KLD team had to deal with another major drought in the second half with an 11 possession dry spell. Later in the game AIA started to get warmed up with a six straight possession scoring run. For the half KLD only scored once off their initial half court offense. There was not a whole lot of drama to report.

AIA lost to Metro Stars Black in the quarterfinals on Sunday.
