The 16u Blue put their undefeated record on the line this weekend when they stepped up a level and entered the Sacramento Area National Qualifier 17U tournament.
The team made it to Sundays finals and a match up with PHPS. The Blue team came out strong taking an early lead. They ended the 1st quarter trailing 14-12. The 2nd quarter saw the Dawgs fall behind by 12
points before cutting the halftime lead to 8.
The 3 rd period was more of the same as PHPS stretched their lead to 12. The young dawgs stayed focused and made a nice run in the 4th period cutting the lead to 3 points before running out of gas. PHPS made their freethrows down the stretch and held on for a double digit victory.
Playing in the 17u national qualifier was a great opportunity for the Dawgs. They showed great pride and character throughout the weekend and saw all 10 players contribute throughout the tournament.
The Dawgs have a week off before they enter another big challenge when they play in the 17u Rumble in the Bay.
The experience from this weekend should prove vital for the teams success in the Rumble in the Bay.
