17U Finishes 6-2 on The Stage

Our 17U team had an impressive conclusion to the season, finishing 6-2 during the NCAA Live Period while playing on The Stage against Adidas Gold competition. Several players had standout performances that should be noted.

At The Final Act in Southern California, Angelo Ghattas led the entire event in rebounding at 13.8 rebounds per game. Alex Naber ranked 6th in our division with 5.3 assists per game and Andrew McDowell finished as the 11th leading scorer at 18.3 points per game.

This past weekend at The NorCal Live, Mikey Ballout tied for 7th in scoring with 13.7 points per game and Angelo Ghattas continued to control the glass, ranking third with 8.0 rebounds per game. Alex Naber ranked third in assists at 3.3 per game and tied for fifth with 6.0 rebounds per game.

That concludes an impressive Spring/Summer tournament schedule for 17U and we appreciate all the athletes and families for making the season a success! There will be an end of season celebration on Sunday, July 23rd at 242 N Clark Ave in Los Altos to celebrate. TeamSnap has been updated to add the end of season event.

We’ll also be holding optional workouts for the final three practice slots to close out July. Anyone looking for extra skill work is welcome to attend and continue working with our coaching staff. We wanted to once again thank the athletes and families for all of their time and effort!

15U/16U Debut on The Stage

Our 15U and 16U teams made their debut on The Stage this past weekend at the NorCal Live which included wins over 5 Star and Just Breathe Elite. There were also some notable performers that should be celebrated.

In the 16U division, new addition Davian Kennedy made an instant impact, leading the team in scoring at 15 points per game and ranking as the 9th leading scorer in the event. Gavin Haase (12.8 PPG), Zidane Auzarang (11.5 PPG), and Jeremiah Phillips (10 PPG, 6.3 RPG, 1.8 APG) were also double-figure scorers. Ray Rahul Keshav had an impressive Sunday, dishing out the most assists per game in the 16U division (3.0) and tying for 7th with 7.0 rebounds per game.

Final Tournament Weekend for 15U/16U

Both our 15U and 16U teams will conclude the summer tournament schedule at The Las Vegas Tune Up hosted by SF Work Hard Play Hard and the Oakland Rebels. This will take place at Chabot College and other East Bay locations. As previously communicated, we had to make an adjustment after West Coast Elite cancelled their South Bay Summer Finale tournament earlier this week. We’re excited to close the season against some strong competition from throughout Northern California.
