MPC Swish 5th Grade MA D1 Champions

This MPC Swish team is young, athletic, super talented and this past weekend completed a clean sweep of MA state titles by winning the NEAAU and Zero Gravity D1 tournaments.

On Friday night, the Swish beat Mass Attack in the semi-final game 40-30 before beating Bay State Magic Elite, 36-26.

The Swish swarmed all over the court defensively while staying patient and efficient offensively on Friday night en route to the NEAAU championship.

There was little time to celebrate, as the Swish had an 8am game Saturday morning in the Zero Gravity state tournament. The Swish opened up the ZG tournament with a victory over KSC Thunder 40-29. The Swish also took care of its second game in pool play defeating Bay State Magic B, 31-6.

On Sunday, the Swish squared off with a talented and big Bay State Jaguars team. Due to great depth and toughness, the Swish held off the Jags, 33-29.

Mass Attack won its semi-final game to set up a rematch with the Swish who won on Friday by 10. The ZG final was a more competitive game as Swish held on for a 33-30 victory behind some timely late offense.

“I can’t believe we won all three,” said head coach Jim Reen, who also including the NEAAU Super Regional victory from earlier in the season. “I am pumped for the girls and MPC. Every player contributed along the way.”
