<p>On Friday night I attended the second annual<strong> Relentless March Madfest</strong> at the Entertainment District in Glendale, AZ. It is a celebration of the HS season. There were three all-star games on the night. A girls game with some of the best the city has to offer, boys game and a Celebrity game. </p>
<p>The set up was incredible. They had a very good MC, entertainment, music from a DJ, the court was incredible and talent was outstanding. </p>
<p>Here is a view of the night before the sun went down. </p>

<p>The girls were very impressive with many from Championship type teams from Millennium and Shadow Mountain including Gatorade POY<strong> Dominique Phillips</strong> from Millennium. </p>
<p>Here was the winning team with some highlights of the game. </p>

<p>The game went back and forth all game and the intensity picked up at the end of the game like always. <strong>Dre Henry</strong> was a man all night with huge rebounds inside and scoring around the hoop. <strong>Jerry Iliya</strong> made clutch dunks, steals and layups down the stretch to get the <strong>MVP</strong> award. Both had 14 points each. </p>

<p>Some other thoughts:</p>
<p>It was nice seeing Globe star <strong>BJ Burries</strong> (Pictured jumping vs Trent Brown)</p>
<p>He is obviously smaller then some of the Phoenix/Tucson guards but very good. He has good speed and quicks and plays a nice role of a PG. He scored one bucket but he looked like he belonged out there and fit right in. </p>
<p>After the boys impressed the crowd, which included a quick dunk contest, the Celebrity game was on.</p>
<p>The game had pros, a former NFL player, street ball legends and a famous rapper named Futuristic. </p>

<p>Overall it was an incredible display of talent from the valley and well organized by Relentless. </p>
