TOURNAMENTS
MISS BASKETBALL TIGER SLAM
IBCA Select won the Miss Basketball Showcase in Kearney last July, and the Dakota Showcase last weekend. This is their "Tiger Slam" as they won both Miss Basketball Events but not in the same year. (think Woods).
The Des Moines Register has a bit on the IBCA Select Dakota Showcase win along with MVP Katie Schechinger.

BATTLE OF THE HARDWOOD
The NC Heat-Metro Stars 17U title game from the Battle of the Hardwood tournament has been uploaded out. This is when Tayler Hill scored 13 points in a minute late in the game and when Katya Leick scored the game winner at the buzzer. Pull up a chair, the game lasts 1:06. Or you can pull the time bar to the late game heroics.

LUTHER TOURNAMENT
There were 3 teams that stood out during the day in the Luther Tournament Sunday. Neilsville WI, from central part of the state, was 4-0 on the day, they recently moved from class 2 to class 3 and have a nice veteran team.
MFL Mar-Mac finished the day at 3-1. They are the State runner up in Class 2A in Iowa last year and return all of their starters. They looked good most of the day and lost a close one in the last game to Decorah.
Waukon (class 3A in Iowa) also looked good going 3-1 on the day, their only loss came in the last game of the day vs Neilsville. They are a young team with a lot of speed and 5 or 6 really good athletes.
