SETX SLAM

[whsalum]

The Southeast Texas Slam 16U club had another strong showing in the Denton Summer Shootout July 14th,15th and 16th in Denton Texas.The boys captured the consolation prize going 5-1 for the tourney.The boys defeated a Mt. Pleasnat club that was previously 27-0 for the year in double overtime and the Oklahoma Kings to garner the top seed coming out of pool play.The only loss for the tourney was in the opening round of bracket play to a strong team from Wicita,Kansas by 3 points.

Highlights for the SLAM:

*Stephen Moten-(Ozen) Once again had some unbelievable dunks and a beautiful touch on his jumper.He scored at will against the Colorado Red Shield in the final game.

*Marcus Malbrough-(WB)and Derek Savoy(Ozen)Controlled the boards and provided valuable scoring from the post positon against some very good big men.

*Ryan Weldon(HJ) Floor leader who led his team with his press breaking abilities and the ability to dish the rock where it needed to go.Also did a great defensive job.

*Josh Payne(HJ) Playing possibly the best game of the tourney against the Kansas City club until he broke his hand played pressure "D" and scored on drives and the long ball.

*Paul Sims(Warren) Knocking down 3 point bombs at crucial times and finishing at the foul line in pressure packed situations.

*Jon Ward(Lumberton) Playing both the guard and post position after the injury to Payne did it all scoring,rebounding and playing tough defense.(Coach Henry has a kid here to build around).

*Stephon Jackson(Ozen) and Scott Kearns (WB)Playing valuable minutes at the PG and guard positions contributed greatly.

It was an excellent team effort winning 1 game in double overtime and several more by 5 points or less.Congratulations to the team and Coach Eric Weldon.The SLAM will travel to San Antonio to play in the San Antonio Shootout July 28th,29th and 30th.Good luck guys.
