The MND1 (Formerly Minnesota Pump N Run) Summer Classic took place in Bloomington, Minn on July 10. On the first night of action it was all younger teams, as 14u and 15u games were played at Bloomington Jefferson High School. This year’s tournament was held Bloomington Jefferson High School.
Teams from across the country converged on the Twin Cities metro area to play in a four day tournament. Teams in every division play in a round robin tournament and then be placed in brackets based on their win-loss record. Then based on how teams do throughout the tournament they keep advancing through their bracket. Teams play their way to a championship or if they lose they are placed on the other side of the bracket and play out the consolation round.
At Jefferson in a very warm gym across three courts teams squared off in the younger divisions.
15U MINNESOTA PHENOM VS MINNESOTA WARRIORS
In a 15u division game Minnesota Phenom went up against Minnesota Warriors. The Warriors started out hot as they built a 5-2 lead with fourteen minutes left in the first half.
The Warriors sped up and down the floor as they were able to make fast break baskets. Phenom was not able get back on defense.
It took a while for Phenom to get into a shooting rhythm. Phenom looked out of sync offensively early.
Warriors played both man-to-man and zone defense. The defensive pressure made it difficult for Phenom to hit mid-range jump shots.
Phenom couldn’t get their shots to fall throughout the game.
Warriors came away with the 70-36 victory over Phenom.
Overall it is a great way to see a lot of talent of ball players on every age level.
