The Newport-Mesa Tar Heels boys Fifth grade all-net team competed in last weekend’s Swoosh Martin Luther King Classic in Downey and won the 11U division. The Tar Heels defeated IE Scorpions, SCV Playmakers and Camarillo Swoosh to win the tournament last weekend.
Matt Olson led all scorers averaging 10 points per game and 2 rebounds per game while DJ Rodman (7 ppg and 4 rpg) and Sam Barela (6 ppg and 2 steals per game) helped lead the way to the wins.
Adam Flood had his best game of the season against the Scorpions with 10 points, 6 rebounds, 4 steals and 2 assists, while Mason Melcer (4 ppg) and Luke Chelf (4 ppg / 2 spg) held the top scorers for all of the teams in check.
Johnny King was big in the championship game against the Camarillo Swoosh coming up with 9 rebounds and 2 blocks, while Ethan Barnes led the team in steals with 3.5 per game and used his stifling defense to create havoc on the court.
The Tar Heels are undefeated in the Winter season so far going 6-0 in league and 7-0 in non-league games.
