Warriors Elite Sports Third Annual Summer Superfest will have the Firepower: The Preview

We have finally arrived to the Warriors Elite Sports Third Annual Summer Superfest. Sure, you could say that the Winter Slam, Spring Bling or the Spring Superfest had more "competition", but the tradition and competition of this event is well documented. AAU ranked teams, Southwest Nationals high point earners, Clark Francis of HoopScoop.com will be in attendance, Prospect Hoop Camp attendees playing with their teams and Horace Neysmith of 24/7 Sports will be on hand for all the action.

No matter how the teams play out, we are all in for a treat.

The Spring Superfest gave us a little preview of the type of teams we will see, but this event will have it all. New Orleans, Kansas City, Little Rock, San Antonio and teams from North Texas will be sending some of their best teams to Houston to play in this event. The field has widen to 100 teams. You can make an argument for each of them on how they could end up playing in the championship on Sunday, but getting out of pool play undefeated will be hard.

On bracket play Sunday, it really comes down to teams that are ready for that next level. At this point in the season, it looks like the 12U Warriors - Holt, 9U Warriors - Lawrence, New Orleans Legends, 12U Ultimate Champions, 12U Gulf Coast Blue Chips, 13U Kansas City Celtics, Arkansas Hawks, and Swilling Storm are playing #1 seed SW Nationals type ball, and they can put a bow on that with a Summer Superfest championship.

There is still days left to add your team to the conversation and get battle tested by  playing some of the nation's best teams by calling Lamar Holt at 281.924.8869 or aphoops@hotmail.com for more information. Play in this event to add to your point total for a top-seed in the 2012 Southwest Nationals coming this July 19-22, 2012.

The Warriors Elite Sports Prospect Hoop Camp will be a springboard for the class of 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016  and high school players, the Summer Superfest will be more than just a basketball tournament.

The opportunity to have three uninterrupted days of exposure playing in game settings in front of talent evaluators and participating in a prospect camp is enough to lure those players, whose intentions are to make a college roster in the years to come.

Warriors Elite Sports Spring Superfest Results: Plenty of next level champions and some thoughts

There was plenty of top level basketball teams, contributing to plenty of quality games in pool and bracket play in this years Warriors Elite Sports Spring Superfest in Houston. A couple of games in particular carried a hint of AAU Nationals atmosphere with evenly matched teams going into the final seconds to decide things.

While the field was both deep and competitive, a few teams played outstanding basketball in Houston. Some won their divisions championship, and some made quite a case to be considered among the southwest region's elite.

 The following teams walked away with the championship titles: 

9U - RYTES Warriors - Lawrence beat the Baytown Saints 

10U - ATR (from Louisiana) beat Total Package 

11U - SE Texas Elite beat D-Gibbs 

12U - RYTES Warriors - Holt beat Gulf Coast Blue Chips 

13U - Houston Defenders Select beat Kansas City Celtics 

14U - Next Level Raiders beat Team Beast 

15U - The Rookies beat West Side Force 

16U - Rockstarz beat Shooting Starz (Blue) 17U Dallas Longhorns beat LA Shames

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

12U Girls - SE Texas Elite beat Katy Rebels (Howe) 

13U Girls - It's On beat HK Express 

14U Girls - HK Express beat Shooting Starz 

JV Girls - 3TBA beat Shooting Starz

Some thoughts about the Spring Superfest 

12U boys - Despite losing in the final to RYTES Warriors - Holt, it was a pretty successful tournament for the Gulf Coast Blue Chips. They did beat Holt's Warriors in pool play, followed by an impressive win over a very good Kansas City Celtics.

In a tournament with plenty of outstanding point guards, dominating front court players were much more at a premium. The 13U Gulf Coast Pistons fought hard to get to the Final Four after losing one of their bigs in pool play.

9U RYTES Warriors - Lawrence always plays solid defense, but it was these Warriors relentless offense that was too much for the Baytown Saints to handle. While coach Lawrence's D have been playing at an extremely high level this season, it would have been a fun match up to see them against the high-octane Gulf Coast Blue Chips Elite. Perhaps we'll get a chance to see them in June.

 

One 13U team, Houston Defenders Select showed how competitive it can be in the Spring Superfest. The Defenders beat Gulf Coast Pistons, Victory Sports and then took out visiting power, Kansas City Celtics while going undefeated in pool play.

The performance by the guards and the rest of the 14U Next Level Raiders this past weekend should lead to some serious conversation about them being a part of the Top 10 14U youth teams in Texas.

Thanks to all teams and coaches that participated in the Spring Superfest
