The third annual Space City Three Stripe Tournament Recap

The third annual Space City Three Stripe Tournament finished off the second and final day of play Wednesday afternoon at The Gym in Humble, Texas. Several AAU teams from the Greater Houston Area were in attendance as well as several college scouts.

The game of the day was between the Westside All-Stars and the Houston Elite, which came down to the wire. The Elite squad started the game off on a 17-2 run and looked as if they would blow away the competition. However, the All-Stars started eliminating turnovers that were killing them in the beginning due to an intense Elite full court press.  The All-Stars put together a 7-2 run late in the first half to cut their deficit to 12 heading into halftime.

The All-Stars came out strong after halftime and put together a 10-2 run to swing the momentum in their favor. However, with time winding down the All-Stars found themselves still down but not out. Westside’s Collin Buteaux converted a four-point play knocking down a three pointer after making one of two at the line. The All-Stars however could not slow down the offense of Elite’s Dominique Adams who dropped in 13 points and Brandon Thomas who added another 10. The Elite went on to win 45-43. Buteaux and Richardson led the way for the All-Stars with ten points each.
