Easter Showdown Roundup (All-Utah AAU)
With the “Live Period” just a week away a few teams from Utah got in their last minute tuneups before the recruiting starts to pick-up. Teams from AZ, CA, TX and NV gathered in Las Vegas for the Easter Showdown.
There was quite a few high schools that created teams to play this weekend along with a few AAU teams.
All-Utah 17U AAU Coached by Johnny Ma had a good showing in their first ever AAU event. They opened up against Houston Hoops EYBL who is talented and well coached. All-Utah fell behind early and could not rally. In their second game they played Colorado River Voltage and were able to get it going as they beat them by 35 points. Coach Ma mentioned that his team finally started to play with confidence as their chemistry was building. In Tournament play they were able to beat Team Vegas by 11, but lost to Cali Elite by 9.
Roster
5’10 Jake Thacker (Lehi)
6’5 Dallin Spencer (Lehi)
6’0 Brenan Hoaldridge (Lehi)
6’4 Jovonte Sharvers-Wyllie (Northridge)
6’4 Josh Jenkins (Stansbury)
6’7 Zach McWhorter (American Fork)
6’2 Rob Crowther (American Fork)
Look for Jenkins and McWorther to push this team in future games as they ave been solid contributors to their high school teams as juniors. Both players could turn into good JUCO players.
