The Duo was tough to defend and gave the opposing defenses fits. On the other hand, Oklahoma Elite fought to the end lead by Matthew Pruett (Casia Hall) and Mariano Benefee (Webster High School) made it difficult on HWPO guards also. The combo guard of Pruett and Benefee gave HWPO all they could handle.

In the 3rd grade boys it was Jordan Flood of Gym time Hoops spectacular play, this kid is ahead of the curve. He is big athletic and strong. The kid was weaving through opposing defenses, shooting the long ball and he has exceptional touch around the basket.
