SUMMER JAM 16u Quarterfinals
Bloomington Jefferson
NORTH TARTAN 15S 51, METRO STARS 19s 49
Youth was served as the North Tartan 15s rallied from a 14 point deficit to beat the Metro Stars 19s. In the Battle of the Hardwood NT finished first in the 16 division two weeks ago and MS finished 2nd in the 18 division. NT had balance and persistence as they mounted their comeback. Sari Noga both teams with 16 points including three 3s. Metro Stars' depth took a hit when Stephanie Sension was at the game in street clothes .
I wasn't there at the start of this game since I was finishing up with the MN Stars Borowicz/Metro Stars Black game on another court. I didn't miss that much however. It was 3-0 NT when I arrived on the scene. Both teams combined for 16 straight non scoring possessions--8 each. NT led 7-2 early on. MS came back with a 6-2 run that forced a NT time out. NT led 18-13 after a Katy Winge three. MS scored on four straight possessions which tied the game at 21 all on an & 1 by Adrea Holler on a put back. NT ended the last four minutes of the half on a sour note with a 1/11 offensive sequence. MS had a 13-1 run to finish the half including two straight baskets off NT turnovers. Kayla Blom hit a three at the buzzer for a 34-22 MS lead at the break.
MS enjoyed their largest lead at 36-22 early in the second half. NT continued to come up empty on the offensive end stretching back to the first half they had a 10 possession drought. With 11:06 to go MS led 39-26 after two free throw by Boylan. Then the wind shifted. Boylan sat down and MS struggled offensively. They had a seven possession drought while NT had 8 unanswered points and trailed 39-34. With 3:19 left MS led by five after anot
her pair of Boylan free throws. Both teams traded non scoring possessions. On the next three NT possessions Ameshia Kearney drove the lane for two, Rachel Banham hit a jumper and Sari Noga drained a three and NT was up 47-45. MS had opportunities on their three possessions to score but missed shots and free throws. Adrea Holler halted the drought for MS with two free throws to tie the game at 47 with 1:16 left. Gabby Boever hit a jumper for a 49-47 lead for NT. Laura Weber missed two free throws at the other end. NT turned it over as Holler went in for a lay up. She was blocked on her lay up attempt and Noga snagged the board. Winge eventually was fouled and she converted both to go up 51-47. Boylan hit a quick pull up to cut the martin to two with 6.4 seconds left. Angela Christenson was fouled but missed the front end. Boylan had the ball but could not get a shot off due to the swarm of youngsters around her and NT had pulled the comeback upset.
