Merritt tournament

What a great tournament. The finals between hooker and minco did not disappoint. It was a back and forth physical defensive game with two really good teams trading punches. Ended up being a 50 to 38 point game but it was a closer game just extended at the end with free throws.
Hooker Is long, athletic, and physical. Cathcart from Hooker is a stud guard at 6’3 that can finish and shoot. They are a legit contender.
Minco is also a really good team. They were missing there leading scorer Shirley in the tournament but still gave Hooker a good game. Heard he will be back in a few weeks. Burchfield can flat out fly. Did one of the craziest dunks On a Hooker player that I have seen a high school kid make. Minco is a very talented and would love to see these two meet up in the big house.
Magnum guard oriented and lightning quick. Small but can light it up from the outside . Struggled to score consistently inside and stop bigger teams. Dangerous team.
Frederick looks the part. Athletic fast and had some good looking guards. Played Hooker pretty tight for 3 quarters and was a really fun game to watch. Under the radar team for sure
Merritt looked very balanced, Tough defensive team and the skeleton kid cam play.
Hobart lost a nail bitter to Frederick opening round. Up two with 4 seconds left and fouled a kid on the shot. Hit all three free throws . Made a run at Merritt the last day but fell a little short.
In summary it was a great tournament. I got to see some great basketball. Hooker and Minco are both top 5 teams in 2a. Magnum, Merritt, Frederick and Hobart are all somewhere in that top 20 range.

You should see Shirley play!! One of the best 1-2 punches in the state.
