The Select Hoops Challenge is set to take place this weekend at Mass Premier Courts and there is no shortage of heavy weights. This tournament boasts three division-one state champions from the spring including MPC Harney, MPC Swish DaLuz and Honey Badgers.
The varsity pool has some of the area's top talent. The South Shore Shamrocks have a great mix of size, shooting and athleticsm loaded with players from Quincy and Hanover spearheaded by Stephanie Flynn, Gabriella Jerahian, Lissy Delahunt and Megan Dixon.
The Honey Badgers are local legends in the Attleboro area and continue to build on their impressive resume. This season they added three key pieces to their already loaded roster in Jen Peel (Mansfield), Emma Roush (Rivers) and Bella Tonetti (Braintree). Add those three newcomers to staples Emma Forbes (Bishop Feehan), Katie Nelson (BF), Riley and Molly Lahiff (BF), Julia Strachan (North Attleboro) and Caroline Collard (North Attleboro), and Honey Badgers (all 10th graders) can compete and beat any team in New England regardless of age.
The MPC Swish enter this weekend on a rare losing streak after eating a little humble pie last Sunday against Bay State Magic Russell and Rivals-Hazelton. This freshmen contingent will be an underdog tomorrow morning again as they take on the two aforementioned teams, Shamrocks and Badgers. To beat those teams, it will require a full team effort from the frosh.
The varsity pool is rounded out by Scituate, M-Plex Elms - a team that has been together for five years - and MT Elite Crowley.
The Honey Badgers hybrid squad highlights the 10th grade age level that also features CMFB, Team BSB, New England Flames, Central MA Lightning and ASA Hoops.
At the 9th grade age level, MPC Mordarski is coming off some nice wins at Roger Williams University and looks to continue that success against Mass Mavericks (coming off some big wins of their own at ZG), MPC Swish Musco and North Central Blaze.
At the middle school age levels, the New Jersey Gym Ratz are bringing multiple teams in hopes of leaving the bay state with some t-shirt souvenirs. Standing in their way will be local power houses, Mass Premier Courts, Angel, MA Gym Rats, CC Waves, MT Elite and the Baby Badgers.
Good luck to all this weekend!
