Basketball: Utah club teams play well in Vegas
Utah Pump N Run Red -- coached by former Bingham High coach George Sluga and his son, Brandon -- was eliminated in the semifinals of the Las Vegas Easter Classic on Saturday, 73-58, to a team sponsored by Tyson Chandler of the New Orleans Hornets.
Chandler went on to win the championship.
The team of Utah 16-year-olds defeated the Bahamas Ratllers 61-33 in the quarterfinals on Saturday and was 4-1 in the tourney after losing to Chandler.
Bingham's Ben Clifford, Olympus' Connor Brady and Oly's Nicholas Paulos all averaged 10.6 points a game for the Utah team.
------------------------------
At the same event, Salt Lake Metro's 15-under team went 3-0 in pool play, then won its first two games in the championship bracket. However, the team lost to "YMCA Polynation" in the championship game at Canyon Springs High School. Salt Lake Metro 15U recently won its fifth AAU state title.
A team called the Utah Jammers won the Gold Bracket (teams that didn't make the championship bracket) in the 15-under division.
