Hoop Group March Madness Recap: 12 and Under

NJ Triple Threat Are Champs

Gilberto Cue scored 14 points as NJ Triple Threat breezed past CJ Future Stars to win the Hoop Group March Madness Championship. Here’s a breakdown of what players stood out in this one.

Standout Players


Gilberto Cue Guard (NJ Triple Threat)- Cue was voted MVP as he had his way with the opposition. The strong guard bullied his way to easy buckets in the lane and drained a couple of outside shots to cap off a good day from the field. On defense he also made his presence felt making steals and hitting the glass.

David Tolentino Forward (NJ Triple Threat)- Speaking of rebounds Tolentino had a bunch. He controlled the paint and spent most of the day inside following up his own misses. His presence made things very easy for his team.

Luis Solorzano Guard (NJ Triple Threat)- I like the way Luis plays the game. He can hit the midrange shot or take it all the way to the cup. Solorzano also will take over the point at times and create opportunities for his teammates.

Carmine Morchitto Guard (NJ Triple Threat)- Morchitto was the true floor general for this squad. In transition he pushed the rock and made scoring very easy for his teammates. He dribbles the rock with his head up and made good decisions for the most part.

Tyler Jones Guard (CJ Future Stars)- Jones went hard even though the game got out of reach. He stayed aggressive and made sure he got his shot attempts up. I like the heart and character he should in this one.
