In a challenging, exciting and dramatic two-day tourney, the SQUIRES came out on top to take home the first-ever VA SHOWDOWN Crown! Although this veteran squad had a rough first day of play, they came back on day 2 with their game faces on-- outlasting the competition with a talented, deep bench and putting on a clinic of tough yet intelligent basketball. In the semi-finals, the Squires avenged a Day 1 loss from Dream Team in a narrow, but dominant, victory: 54-47. And in the Championship game they once again faced the Raptors-- who they thoroughly trounced in Day 1. This time around the Raptors put up a better fight, but the Squires well-rounded offense and deeper bench wore out the Raptors to win the Championship, the score 56-51.
