Nowak got off to a big start helping build a significant lead for the Legends which they cruised to the win. In the first half alone, he scored 15 points while finishing the game with 19 points.

Zion Ogunsola – 2031 – F – Team Hali

Ogunsola scored 10 points in just the first half but did plenty more to help Team Hali grab a good win Friday. As a seventh grader he already has good size in the frontcourt at 6’2”. He used his size and length to score the ball very efficiently around the paint but also made a big impact with his versatile defensive play as an athletic forward.

Terrence Peterson Jr. – 2032 – PG – Team Herro

Throughout the opening game win for Team Herro, Peterson was a pure playmaker on both sides of the ball. He is a quick guard who plays with a lot of energy. Whether he was getting to the basket, being a distributor, or causing turnovers, Peterson was consistently making winning plays win his team’s victory.

Sam Staebler – 2030 – G/F – Davis Brothers Elite

Staebler had some highlight reel plays to open up the tournament. This included a pair of powerful dunks in the convincing game one victory for Davis Brothers Elite. As well to already having positional size as a 6’3” wing, he is also has good athleticism and skills too. He scored 19 points in the win scoring it in a variety of ways.

Isaac Zarate – 2030 – G – Davis Brothers Elite

Zarate was one of several standouts from this very deep and talented 14U Davis Brothers Elite team that had a significant win on Friday night.
