Memorial Day GASO: Championship Game Recaps

The final games of a great weekend full of hoops, find out who will be bringing home the awards from the Memorial Day Classic.

Centex Lockdown Elite 69 Lone Star Elite 54

Centex Lockdown Elite ended the weekend as champions of the NBA Red bracket with a composed 15-point victory over a Lone Star Elite team coming off some impressive wins. Lockdown might not have the biggest names on the circuit, but they play as a team and work hard on the defensive end. On the offensive end they have no shortage of weapons, with Luke Hamilton (Lake Travis 2018) going for 17 and Malcolm Greene posting 16 in the game. The play of Jarrell's 2019 AJ Smith hasn't gone unnoticed this weekend, with the guard totalling 9 points in this one.

Lone Star had the momentum coming into the game, but after a flat start to the second half fell behind and couldn't recover. Addison Wallace (Cleburne 2018) has really been impressive over the weekend, getting 12 in this one. Will Harper (Homeschool 2018) also had 12, with Dylan Isenhower (Abilene Wylie 2018) putting up 10.

Texas Impact 4:13 77 Urban DFW Elite 45

Texas Impact was simply not going to be denied the NBA White bracket championship, dominating this one from start to finish for a 32-point win over Urban DFW. Jaylen Walker (Allen 2o18) only had a sneaky good weekend before the final, but wowed onlookers in the title game with a 17-point performance. Xavier Bryant (Greenhill 2018) staked his claim as the premier point guard in Dallas with an all-around game of 16 points. Samuell Williamson (Rockwall 2019) finished an impressive weekend for himself wit ha 12-point outing.

Urban DFW looked off the pace from the tip, and just never really got the offense flowing to their normally elite standards. Kaden Archie (Midlothian 2018) did his part with 13, and Braden Bell (Rowlett 2018) turned in a 10-point game.

Oklahoma Power 17U Elite 72 CCYA Tigers Elite 63

Jalen Crutchfield (Norman North 2018) powered Oklahoma Elite to the NBA Blue bracket title on the back of a 20-point game, including 4 makes from deep.

CCYA Tigers only trailed by 1 at halftime, but couldn't match their offensive output to keep pace in the second half. M'Elijah Wesley (Austin Bowie 2019) was high point in the game with 22, with teammate Brian Batts (LBJ 2019) put up 14 in the championship game loss.

Boykins Basketball Academy (NCAA) 69 Urban DFW 2020 62

Branden Temple (Douglas County 2019) scored 13, and Darien Meyers (Lewis Palmer 2019) came up with 11.

Texas Elite-Mel led at halftime before THP 2020 came back to force overtime. Westley Sellers (2020) scored 19 of his game high 26 in the second half, while Elijah Thomas (2020) went for 12 as Texas Elite came up just short of the title.
