Bay State Magic Elite 2017

In a very loaded 9^th grade girls division, Bay State Magic Elite is still the team to beat until a team dethrones them. BSME, coached by Jim Wardwell, has captured two consecutive D1 MA state championships and finished third at the Nationals last summer.

BSME plans to attend the best tournaments on the east coast such as Basketball HOF Tip-Off, North East Elite Showcase, Deep South Classic, Commotion by the Ocean, Gym Rat Challenge, Nike US Nationals and Blue Chip Showcase in Philly.

This up-tempo team showcases some of the best players in the state including Jen Worden (Abington), Hayley Wardwell (Cardinal Spellman), Joie Grassi (Plymouth North), Meaghan Raab (Hanover), Haley Blasetti (Hingham 8^th grade), Ally Dillon (Braintree), Vanessa Nichols (Silver Lake), Ashley Cadorette (Dartmouth), and Gordon (Holy Name).

This team has a roster loaded with players that contribute on their varsity team already, but Coach Wardwell cites that the team goal is to have all the players make significant varsity contributions as sophomores.

I plan on following this team closely as they hit some of the best tournaments in the country.
