this game took place Saturday, June 14, 2008
Summer Jam 15u Division
Bloomington Jefferson
METRO STARS 63, IBCA SELECT BLUE 36
The Metro Stars did not have a problem beating the younger and smaller IBCA 14 team 63-36. On top of that this was the first tournament experience for IBCA Select since March.
The Stars led 7-0 after their first four possessions. That prompted a time out by IBCA. They did score on their next possession. That started the best stretch for IBCA where they had a 7-6 advantage to close to 13-7. IBCA had to use their second time out at 14-7 due to the back court pressure applied by the Stars. An 8 possession drought stopped what little momentum
IBCA had started. The Stars didn't really seize advantage at that stage either only adding four points. The Stars kept adding to their margin and led 32-17 at half time. Haley Thomforde had 9 at the break for the Stars, while Taylor Shull had all 8 of her points in the first half to lead IBCA.
IBCA had another severe drought in the second half, this time 11 empty trips. The Stars led at that point 42-18. The Stars were headed in the opposite direction with six straight scoring trips. That pushed the score to 51-24 with about 7 minutes left and the margin remained the same the rest of the way.
