RESULTS: REEBOK PEARLAND CLASSIC
The Louisiana Blue Chips jumped out to a 45-28 halftime lead and cruised to a 82-73 win over Play Hard Play Smart (CA) in the championship game of the Reebok Pearland Classic. Guards Marquis Harris and Jeremy Johnson (15pts in first half) did whatever they wanted to do against the talented Cali backcourt, Jamel Barrett and Nate Garth. Actually, Johnson (a 6′2 unsigned senior pg at New Orleans East Jefferson HS) flat out demolished every single person who attempted to guard him this past weekend.
The LBC’s road to the championship consisted of won games over Fort Worth MASH, Texas Ambassadors-Austin, Urban DFW Black, T Mac All Stars, Dallas Slam, and Urban DFW Elite. More impressive was the fact that the Louisiana Blue Chips played without two of their most recruited stars, Travis Jackson (missed team bus) and Brandon Moore (played with Texas Blue Chips). Also, the team is coached by Anthony Q. Anderson, head coach at Dillard University in New Orleans (and former coach at SMU and Miami). This was the perfect platform to audition his sideline talents (in front of dozens of college coaches) in hopes of returning to the D1 level. *More details in VIP ROOM*
