2012 Cardinal Classic
The Delaware Defenders 7th grade team went to play in the Cardinal Classic in Salisbury, Md on March 24-25.. This was a great 1st tourney of the season for us. Although we lost in the semi's on a last second 3 pointer, the team played well. We have a lot of new additions to the this years roster and that's gonna make this team very exciting to watch.
The team was led in scoring by Terrell Barnes. The leadership play of Shannon McCants was very key as he directed the players to the right positions and knocked down some key shots. Trevon Alderman's hot shooting also contributed to the success of the team. New members, Jariel Quintana, Gary Brightwell and Ali Salaam all played well in their first action as Defenders.
Good job fellas. This is just the beginning of 2012.
