Basketball: West Jordan-based club team looks good in Vegas
We've had some posts about how some club basketball teams from Utah fared in the Las Vegas Easter Classic tournament over the weekend. Of course, coaches/scorekeepers, etc., are always welcome to provide updates to me at drew@sltrib.com and I will do my best to get them in the paper and will always work them into these posts.
I'm not the lead high school basketball writer any more, but updates are always welcome because the kids who play in these events turn out to be the ones who are recruited the most once they become hgh school seniors.
That said, a 17-under team called the West Jordan Jaguars also went undefeated in pool play at the Classic. The team (which will be called the Salt Lake Prospects in the future), defeated Las Vegas-based Mad Moves Inc. 87-56, then defeated South East Aces All In 84-51 and then downed Moore Management of Orange County Pride Gold 67-48 in pool play.
Interestingly, the latter team was coached by former Utah Jazz player Olden Polynice.
In bracket play, West Jordan won its first game against Agassi School of Las Vegas, then lost to the Las Vegas Prospects, the eventual runner-up in the 17-under tournament.
The team included: West Jordan's Jonah Blanchfield, Mason Sawyer, Rayes Gallegos, Tyson Udy and Jordan Wierick, Granger's Raymond Tapusoa, West's Chris Barnes and Delta's Jaren Jeffery.
The team was coached by Brad Blanchfield and managed by Stuart Tua.
