The Aftershock North played the Midtown Monarch Tourney last weekend.  The first game was a rematch with North Iowa from the exciting overtime win at fury showdown.  The aftershock pulled out a close win 40-37.  Then at 830pm Aftershock played Northern Lights and fought to a 29-22 loss.  The tourney finished up on Sunday with a win vs Irondale and a loss to North Iowa 11th grade team.  Overall, another 2-2 tournament.

Aftershock 10th grade continued their aggressive play against very competitive teams at the Fury showdown.   The first game was a narrow loss to a much bigger team called the Mn 36ers, the second game on Saturday was a great game to watch.  After being down by 20 points to the North Iowa Fire, the young aftershock team came back and tied the game in the last 4 seconds with a quick transition down the court.  Makayla Paggen dribbled across court, looked at the clock and passed to Katie Klein who sank the three point shot for the tie 46-46.  Then in overtime both teams scrambled for loose balls, and a lot of back and forth.  The 36ers scored a shot from the lane making it 48-46 and the Aftershock finished with a 3 point shot to win 49-46.  Great hustle and a “never give up” attitude helped the Aftershock pull out the win.

The tournament continued on Sunday with a  win over WC Wildcats and then a loss to fury gold.  Overall, a great weekend for the Aftershock who went 2-2 for the tournament.

The 10th grade aftershock girls played three competitive games at Eastview this weekend, starting with a five point loss to the Aftershock's own Sydney Borys and Gabby Eisfelder of Totino Grace.  They bounced back with a strong performance against SWAG and were unable to hold onto their half time lead against EV 13 in the 3rd place play in game.

The First Aftershock North Practice will be on Tuesday March 26th at 7:30 at Coon Rapids Middle School.  Please arrive a little early for a quick parent meeting to go over team policies, meet the coach and the Aftershock director.
