The teams in the beautiful Shakopee High facility all set out to attain bragging rights for the year. Each game had highlight worthy plays, and players looking to prove their team was worthy of a Championship Title. Although there can only be one champion, there was no shortage of intensity throughout the entire weekend in each division. This huge event had all of the best talent in the state of Minnesota. Below, I highlighted the “Day 1 Standouts” that I was able to watch at the “Twin Cities Takedown”.
Andrew Ziemer | ECI
Ziemer set the floor for ECI, but served as much more over the weekend. He was at his best attacking off of the catch, knocking down shots from range and showing off his touch on floaters and in between game. In times of need, his team could also rely on him to create his own shot.
Lewhat Hagos | Refresh
Hagos was a reliable table setter for Refresh Basketball. The big guard’s court vision was a catalyst in the open court as well as in the half court setting. His ability to draw two defenders made for open as shots and layups got his teammates.
Lincoln Colo | WOTN
Colo was a presence in the paint on both ends of the floor. His ability to cut behind the defense and seal his matchup was a catalyst for WOTN in the half court. Colo was able to step outside of the paint and show craft and soft touch that was also impressive.
Bol Agu | Refresh
Agu was a defensive menace that allowed Refresh Basketball to play with great pace. He has a good height and great wingspan, his foot speed allowed him to switch onto anyone on the floor. He was hard to stay in front of in transition. In the half court he proved to have a quick first step that opened up his playmaking.
