The 3 finals I saw at Canisius were very exciting. The 14U game was a 1 point game with with 2 minutes to play. Defenders were missing a starter. The Warriors played without a bench for much of the game, finished the game with only 4 on the court, losing in OT.
The 15s had the Lightning and Storm battling closely all game. 2 lead changes in the last 10 seconds and some clutch foul shooting earned the Lightning a win.
The 16s had several lead changes, but the Lakers got the lead with about 6 minutes left and the Eclipse could not get closer than 4 for the rest of the game.
All the teams played well and should be proud of winning their pool. Thanks and see you next year!
