They had a close game win over Rush and then put a spanking on Apex Elite from E32, they hammered Colorado Titans who is P32, and beat a team from Michigan by 15. Looks like this group is starting to come together. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another team coming together is Minnesota Crossfire Frederickson. They had a serious battle with WOTN Erickson to the end and then they beat up their other opponents which includes wins over Sizzle Hall, Milwaukee Young Bucks, and All Wisconsin. A team moving on up!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The theme of teams needing a big weekend continued with Comets Elite 15s! They also went undefeated beating the Playmakers second team by two scores, had a nice win over the Sanford SD Black team, and then knocked off Colorado Next Level and [program_tooltip program_id='2076003' first='West' last='Central United'] in blowout fashion. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Do you know who wins games? Fury De Los Reyes! The DeLo Teams always have a good record! This weekend they had a great record with a four win run. They beat the Comets Landquist team by a basket, defeated Foundation North by 14, they won a two score game against Minnesota Gold, and then beat Grand Forks Swish by 19. They now are at 13-7 on the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Minnesota Crossfire Ratte and Minneapolis Central were in the same pool and they both went 4-0 in the pool. Crossfire won their games by 30 points on average, and Central won their games by a 25 point average.
