Basketball: Utah teams flourish in Las Vegas club tournaments
It was a busy weekend for many of Utah's top high school-age boys basketball players. Most played in a pair of club team tournaments in Las Vegas over the weekend, the Las Vegas Spring Showcase and the Double Pump Spring Classic.
Here's a rundown on how things went in the Spring Showcase:
Salt Lake Metro Black went 3-1 in the 17-under division of the Las Vegas Spring Showcase.
Metro Black won its two pool-play games and then its first game in the Platinum Division bracket. However, Saturday night it lost to eventual tournament champion Compton (Calif.) Magic in the Round of 32.
The highlight was Brighton freshman (yes, freshman) Corbin Miller's 24 points in the first half to lead Metro to its opening win.
The West Jordan Jaguars and A Train Snowbears also went 2-0 in pool play, but lost their first-round games in the Platinum Division.
In the Spring Showcase's Gold Division (second-place pool), a team called Utah Select won the championship. Utah Select went 6-1, losing only to West Coast Academy in its second pool-play game (a loss that sent it to the Gold Division rather than the Platinum Division).
Utah Select was comprised of players from the St. George area, including Dixie State College-bound Dalton Groskreutz. Pine View's Louis Garrett and Jordan Rex and Snow Canyon's Seth Weinheimer were also on the team.
Lone Peak also went to the Gold Division for bracket play and went 4-2 overall. Mega-recruit Tyler Haws had several 30-plus point games. Lone Peak lost to Belmont Shore Up and Coming in the semifinals before Utah Select beat that team in the finals.
Davis also played in the Gold Division, going 1-2.
