End of Summer Tournament – Ennis, TX Championship Game!!!
Texas D-1 Ambassadors – Chip 73 DC Kings 17U 57
We Win the Championship to close out the AAU Summer Season!
After playing their hearts out against the Dallas Mustangs in the Semi-Final Game, the team came out flat and a bit tired in their 3rd game of the day. The DC Kings was fired up and ready at the start jumping out to a 15 pt lead at the start of the 1st half, but everyone got their second win and cruised to the victory after closing the lead to only 1 pt by half time, trailing 30 – 29.
This game was the Deon Mitchell (2011 Pflugerville HS) show, and both teams seemed to watch in amazement as he poured in 36 pts for the game, at one point hitting 8 straight 3’s! He was also 6 of 6 from 2’s for the game and had 3 steals.
It has been a great summer and thanks to all the boys for playing hard and representing their team, themselves and their families well. Have a great rest of the summer and an exciting school year!
