CEDAR PARK "RUMBLE IN THE PARK"
STARZZ Basketball took its traveling show this week to the Mid-America Basketball Tournament in Cedar Park, Texas.
In their first pool play game, the 7th grade boys beat the Copperas Cove Cobras, then lost only their second game of the season to the Austin Toros. In three tournaments, the STARZZ 7th grade boys only losses have come at the hands of the Toros’. The loss to the Toros forced the 7th grade boys into the third-place game against the Salado Slam. Rashard Odomes’ clutch free throw shooting at the end of the game sealed the deal for the STARZZ 7th grade boys as they finished in third place.
The 8th grade boys jumped on the Liberty Hill Wildcats and Austin Wildcats in their first two games of round robin play. Having secured at least a second place finish, the 8th graders needed a win over Texas Extreme for the tournament title. The Texas Extreme hung tough throughout the first half, before finally falling to the STARZZ 8th graders. The 8th grade boys have now won two consecutive tournaments and improved their record to 7-4.
The STARZZ Basketball 6th grade girls continued their winning ways. They defeated the Austin Hoops, the Dripping Springs Lady Tigers, and the Georgetown Dribblers on their way to winning the 6th grade girls division. In three tournament appearances, the girls are 9-2, with two first place finishes and one third place finish.
The STARZZ Basketball 8th grade girls went 0-2 in pool play with a forfeit to the Austin Wildcats, on a scheduling error, followed by a loss to the Centex Triple Threat. In bracket play, the 8th grade girls defeated the BCS Lady Bears 8th, to finish the tournament in fifth place.
