GRR: HS All-Stars
Congratulations to the 21 players named to the Rocky Mountain Challenge All Tournament Team. The Denver event served as the West Regional Cup Tournament, one of seven all-star tournament occurring countrywide and that serve as primary selection vehicle to the Stars & Stripes assembly.
In a Boys all-star season where the JV teams seem to have as much importance as the Varsity teams, Indiana is one of those that stuck out.
While Utah’s JV team dominated the competition in the Rocky Mountain Classic, Indiana’s was just as impressive, producing shutout after shutout, going 4-0, and really only being usher by Virginia, a team they beat in the final 37-14.
The girls Northeast Regional Cup Tournament was a modest affair with only three teams in attendance, but all of the games between Vermont/Capital District, Massachusetts, and Connecticut were tough, hotly contested matches. And some up-and-coming talent didn’t go unnoticed.
Time now to grade the RCT series - and perhaps the teams, too.
Despite the frustrating lead-up to the Southwest Regional Cup Tournament (read more), Southern California hosted a top-notch girls all-star competition that brought together arguably the two best high school select sides in the country.
