GASO – Lewisville, TX (Pool Play)

by

Chris made a decision to play with Hardwood Elite during the Great American Shoot Out on Lewisville, TX on April 11-13, 2014. Missing a few key players; mainly BIGS, the team played hard during it’s first game against Air 1 Athletes, but came up short in the end. Losing by 2 points in a game that should have been won by 20.

Chris #6 scored 12 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists. He played good defense and answered on offense.

On Saturday morning, we faced the tough Team Texas Blue team which came out on fire… Shooting 3’s and by halftime, ran up a 20 point led. Hardwood Elite answered by; going to man defense, Hardwood Elite forced turnover after turnover and got back into the game. With 52.9 seconds left in the game, Hardwood Elite have a one point lead (63-62). Burning the clock, down to 12 seconds a Hardwood Elite turnover led to a 2 point layup by Team Texas Blue (63-64). With only 12 seconds remaining, Hardwood Elite could not answer leading to a heartbreaking 1 point lost.

I have to give it to Hardwood Elite, they fought back in a game no one expected them to even come close to winning considering Team Texas Blue had earlier walked over Air 1 Athletes winning by 20 points.

Keep up the hard work and team play Hardwood Elite!! All around good defense, excellent ball movement, hustle and team play!! Job well done.

Finishing 3rd in Pool Play, Hardwood Elite now moves on to bracket play. They will face Warriors in the first round at Hebron High School at 5:10pm.
