Southwest Showcase Main Event Recap

Tipoff to start of the tournament.

Team M'Phasis's Elite team had their first tournament of the season this past weekend at Inspire Courts (Gilbert, Arizona) and Mesa Community College (Mesa, Arizona). On the first day of the tournament, the boys played two games which both resulted into losses. But the team showed the potential of what could be a dynamic group. The following day, the players came back to the court and looked like a completely different team from the way the shared the ball to how they played and communicated with one another. Team M'Phasis won both games on the day two of the tournament which lead them to win their bracket.

Trevan Newman (Cortez High School)

The main highlight of the tournament was Trevan Newman (#23) getting a monstrous dunk in a momentum swinging moment which helped lift the team to the top. They finished the tournament strong and this will definitely be an exciting season. Stay tuned!
