WISCONSIN AAU STATE TOURNAMENT
14u CHAMPIONSHIP
UW Stout, Menomonie, WI
WISCONSIN HOOPS SELECT 41, TEAM WISCONSIN SELECT 40
This was considered an upset by the people in the know in Menomonie. Both teams had Wisconsin and Select in their name. Team WS had more bodies, and stronger bodies throughout. W Hoops S only had one reserve. It was however the smallest player on the floor that packed the biggest punch. Cady Roedl, the smallest, lightest player on the floor, provided a whopping 18 points for the winners.TWS opened with a 5-0 lead as WHS started with a six possession drought. TWS led 10-4 with five different players contributing to the lead. TWS then fell into a 1/8 offensive sequence. That opened the door for a 9-2 run for WHS. Erika Chitko scored four straight points for WHS gave them the lead for the rest of the half. This was in the middle of a 5/7 offensive sequence for Hoops. It was 19-17 WHS at the half.
Roedl started the half with a steal and then a hesitation move for a basket. Taylor
Lorbiecki added an old fashioned three point play later to give WHS a five point lead. WHS pushed that lead out to 30-23 after a transition basket by Roedl. This is when TWS mounted their comeback. Three minutes later the game was narrowed to 33-31. Just at that critical juncture TWS froze up on offense for six possessions. Alyssa Colla was called for a carry for the second time and fans were signified their displeasure with comments from the stands. The refs were not pleased and asked for those fans removal. The game was stopped as the parent/fans were ousted. TWS had a 4/5 string to tie the game up at 40. Cassie Hallstrand had four points to open up the TWS 9-5 run. Abby Weidman also knocked down a three for TWS. Jenni Gust tied it up with two free throws with 28.4 seconds left and the momentum clearly shifting to TWS. There was a turnover on the next WHS possession. Shelby Sterba picked up the steal. WHS had fouls to give and oddly three times they inbounded the were fouled and TWS was moving further away from their basket as they were trying to get the ball in play. On the fourth attempt to get the ball in the littlest player stole the ball and got it to Julia Shelbourn who was fouled with 7.5 seconds left. She made the second free throw for the final margin.photos: #1 Shelby Sterba goes airborne to block Cady Roedl. #2 Julia Shelbourn makes the game winning free throw. photos by Teas.
