ICH BBall rosters & results

This was Michael Edwards' squad, and it featured players from all over SoCal, including some guys we are very familiar with. ICH BBall ost their first pool game against CABC's #1 team 76-63, but then came back and pounded a Dommanic Ingerson-less 805 #1 squad 71-55 in a game which was not especially pretty. ICH then beat the Pates (a local Fresno high school team) 82-65, and they 2-1 (with an identical record to CABC #1, but based on point differentials, finished second and wound up in the Silver Bracket, where they made it to the second round, beatign the Rockfish Orcas on Sunday night and then losing (we think. . . we're not actually sure about this one though) to Modesto Slam N Jam #2 on Monday. Actually we really don't know who advanced to the 1:00 p.m. semifinal game at Washington Union #1 gym against the Oakland Soldiers #2 team, but whoever it was they lost, because Oak #2 wound up winning the whole Silver Bracket.

The guys who really stood out on this team were Antoine Parker, a tough point with excellent mobility and quickness who is a great ball-handler and especially effective in transition and the break. He combined with Tony McFadden, who was ineligible for much of this last season at Montclair Prep to make an effective inside-outside combination. Tony didn't really shoot all that much, at least not that we saw, but he does like to take the ball to the rack on slashes, either out of the half-court by beating his man off the dribble or coming in flying from the wing on the fast break. A pretty solid athlete, he was joined by his Montclair teammate Derrick Daniel, a young big-bodied guy who could use a little running and conditioning, but who otherwise has a pretty wide base and who could develop into a good four type. BBall also had Jonathan Harper, who missed most of last season with a back injury (he was actually in a body-cast type of device early last fall), but Jono has picked up most of the lost tone and conditioning, and his shot is as good as ever. We didn't see Brandon Heath at the tournament, although we heard he was playing, but honestly, if he was there, we just didn't notice. We did notice however, that Sebastian Anderlay, a tall and somewhat underdeveloped guy never got off the bench in the game against 805. We've seen Sebastian working out at the Wooden Center at UCLA several times, and we've heard that he's a European foreign-exchange student. He's got good size, but really needs a ton of work. But as a team, ICH did pretty well and we're looking forward to seeing them again this summer.
