DREW GOODEN SOLDIERS WIN The Drew Gooden Soldiers 17s beat California Supreme 67-59 for the Best of Summer Tournament title in Anaheim, CA. Like at the Fab 48, the Soldiers were clearly the best team in the field. Brandon Ashley and Nick Johnson led the team with 16 points apiece. Jabari Brown added 15, while Kyle Wiltjer and Kiwi Gardner chipped in 10 and 8 respectively. This concludes an outstanding summer for the Soldiers that includes the Drew Gooden Extravanganza, Fab 48, and Best of the Summer titles, and the Elite 8 of the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League. JOHNSON HAS BIG SHOWING AT FAB 48 Nick Johnson and the Drew Gooden Soldiers 17s destroyed the competition at the Las Vegas Fab 48 heading into Sunday's final round, with comfortable victories each time they take the floor. "This is the best tournament we've played," Johnson said. "We've been playing together. We haven't had one practice this summer but I think we're doing pretty good to mold together and we really grasp what each other can do." Click here for story1 DREW GOODEN SOLDIERS |
WILTJER
TALKS KENTUCKY Drew Gooden Soldier and senior power forward Kyle Wiltjer has drawn a ton of interest from colleges this summer, including several calls and looks from the University of Kentucky. The UK staff has been in contact with the Soldier coaches recently and the message was they were still watching and evaluating his game. GARDNER GETTING NOTICED The Drew Gooden Soldiers feature five high-major prospects in the lineup, but the Soldiers also get a big boost from undersized point guard Kiwi Gardner of Manteca. SOLDIERS TAKE 3RD AT NATIONALS The Drew Gooden Soldiers 11u took 3rd place in the Classic Division at the AAU Nationals in Cocoa Beach, FL. Congratulations Young Soldiers! |
