16U Grey Championship: Team South Carolina 72, Georgia Stars 67
The 16U Grey championship featured two very different teams in the Georgia Stars and Team South Carolina.
The Stars had been led by their frontcourt all week behind good performances from DJ Burns and Marcus Watson while Team SC has a squad filled with talented, hard playing guards.
The story of the first half was the perimeter shooting of the Team SC guards, led by Russell Jones, Chase Claxton and Tre Jackson who combined for six threes as they led by nine at the half.
While the shots were not falling with the same frequency for Team SC as a team in the second half, Tre Jackson took over, scoring 15 points in the half which was enough to overcome some hot shooting from Stars forward Daniel Ramsey and Team SC took the win 72-67.
Jackson led Team SC with 21 points while Russell Jones added 15.
Marcus Watson had 11 points in the loss for the Stars, capping off a great event for him this weekend. - Carter Wilson
