Both AIA Prep teams were on the road this past weekend in Missouri, and both came home with players who stood out.
Premier Team goes 2-1
The Premier Team went 2-1 at the Midwest Classic. After a loss to Link Academy on Friday, they beat SCA 91-77 on Saturday and came back to beat Link Academy 64-51 on Sunday.
- Diggs Sladek (6-7 forward) was named Player of the Game against SCA and made the All-Tournament Team.
- Bristol Tobin (6-5 wing) was named Player of the Game in the Sunday win over Link Academy.
National Team at the Heartland Classic
Ramsey Sato was named All-Tournament at the Heartland Classic. The 6-5 shooting guard can really shoot it. In his first showing in Virginia on Oct. 4, he went 13-for-14 from three.
DJ Humphries, a 6-1 point guard from San Diego, had a big weekend. Over 3 games he averaged 20.3 points, 4.7 assists and 4.3 rebounds, shooting 40% from the field, 40% from three and 86% at the line.
