Before we look at more pictures from around the area at local basketball league and tournament action, a quick recap of last week’s “Bash at the Beach” (aka, held indoors at nice, climate-controlled gymnasiums…thank you, Whitehall-Coplay School District!)
The winners for the second straight year were the Parkland Trojans. In addition to winning the district title and going further than any other boys team this past winter, they have a ton of people back for this year and show no signs of slowing down.
Ironically both Parkland and fellow defending district champion Central Catholic both lost the day before and found themselves in the ‘losers bracket’ for Sunday’s events.
Emmaus, under the direction of a brand new head coach, made a great showing, advancing into the winners bracket Saturday night by beating both the Trojans and the Vikings. The Hornets then lost to Wilson WL, who lost to Parkland in Sunday night’s finale.
In the small school classification, both Salisbury and Southern Lehi had great weekends, with the Falcons beating the Spartans in the final game in overtime. Veteran Steven Lozada had the game-winning bucket. Both teams have a ton of talent returning from last year and, as you saw on ATVN last winter, that game was also a close affair that went right down to the wire.
Now, a look at some still pictures of summer basketball action…
