The 15U squad came together this weekend to win the gold medal in the 2007 Badger State Games.  They shared the ball extremely well and played like a true TEAM!  Great defense and scoring amongst the talented squad was balanced in their four games on the road to the championship!  Below is a re-cap of our tournament run:

Game #1    
SITG 60  
Madison Warriors 46  F
Record (1 - 0)    
Leading Scorers:   Roy Marshall, Alex Rogers, Josh Gee
    Game Summary: The 15U squad applied great defensive pressure early and often creating a ton of turnovers in this game.  The points off of turnovers gave SITG an early double digit lead.  Forwards Roy Marshall and Alex Rogers dominated the boards and points in the paint, and Josh Gee got in the lane with his dribble penetration with ease.  SITG's guards Demetrius Jackson, Marquis Jordan and newcomer Shakel Lea played great on-the-ball defense and displayed their passing ability.  Leading scorers in the game were Marshall and Rogers with 12 points each and Gee with 11 points.
Game #2    
SITG 91  
Durand Panthers 61  F
Record (2 - 0)    
Leading Scorers:   Roy Marshall, Josh Gee, Shakel Lea
    Game Summary: Defense, rebounding and running the floor were the key to this huge victory by the 15U squad.  The fullcourt press was too much for the Panthers.  The quickness and long arms of PG Demetrius Jackson and F Josh Gee got SITG steals early and often resulting in a ton of layups.  Guards Jalil Goodwin,  Marquis Jordan and Shakel Lea along with F Gee showed great range behind the arc.  Guard Thomas "Tre" Kinlow showed great athleticism finishing in the lane.  Forwards Roy Marshall and Alex Rogers dominated in the paint and each had a tomahawk dunk in this game.  Jordan, Jackson and Gee were the assist leaders in this game.  Leading scorers were Marshall with 17 points, and Gee and Lea with 14 points each.
Game #3    
SITG 41  
Racine Rockets 35  F
Record (3 - 0)    
Leading Scorers:   Alex Rogers, Marquis Jordan
    Game Summary: A close game against a good Rockets basketball team.  F Roy Marshall sat out due to injury.  The 15U squad was very efficient in this game and ran the offense to perfection taking advantage of the mismatches on the inside.  F Alex Rogers dominated the glass, finished around the bucket and knocked down his free throws.  Defense from guards from Marquis Jordan, Demetrius Jackson and Jalil Goodwin were key to this victory.  F Gee continued to get into the lane and score in the paint taking his man off the dribble.  Scoring leaders in this game were Rogers and Jordan with 9 points each and Jackson and Gee with 7 points each. 
Game #4   *** GOLD MEDAL GAME ***
SITG 81  
Sun Prairie 39  F
Record (3 - 1)    
Leading Scorers:   Jalil Goodwin, Tre Kinlow, Josh Gee
    Game Summary: F Roy Marshall sat out in this championship game due to injury and OG Marquis Jordan was injured in the first minutes of this game.  OG Jalil Goodwin stepped-in in place of Marshall and played extremely well.  Goodwin and OG Thomas "Tre" Kinlow were the catalysts in SITG's diamond press which proved to be too much for Sun Prairie.  Goodwin, Kinlow, PG Demetrius Jackson and F Josh Gee had a number of athletic "and one" finishes in this game from steals and turnovers.  F Alex Rogers continued to be a force on the inside controlling the boards and finishing in the paint.  PGs Demetrius Jackson and Shakel Lea ran the offense and got their teammates involved in their roles as floor generals.  5 of the 6 SITG players finished in double figures in this championship game.  Leading scorers were Goodwin with 22 points, Kinlow with 16 points and Gee with 15 points.  Jackson and Rogers also had 12 and 11 points in this game.
