I saw this game as well, it was very entertaining. Pride Youth is very talented with a lot of play makers. Also, some players from the Old Skool team of note. Travis Carr and Jake Wilson from Zimmerman, Derrick Burkhalter from Minneapolis, and Lamar Aaron from New Hope.

I saw this game as well, it was really entertaining. Before the tip I thought it was going to be a blowout. Pride youth was tall an athletic. But the Old Skool Sonics played with heart and had some really good players. Derrick Burkhalter from Minneapolis, played some of the best defense I saw all weekend at any level. Lamar Aaron from New Hope held the lane on lock for most of the game. Travis Carr from Zimmerman looked like a blur, using his speed to get in the lane. In the end Pride Youth was Too much. Both teams should be very happy with how they played.
