USA U16 wins over Brazil

[BabHorn]

Most impressive player on the USA squad was Mercedes Russell, 6-5 post from Springfield, OR.

Runs the floor well, good handle, very agressive rebounder, nice moves around the basket. Think she led the USA in scoring and rebounding, if not, she was very close. She did get a double double.

Canada drew away from Puerto Rico in the second half, winning 80-66.

USA vs Argentina up next in about 15-20 minutes.

USA beats Argentina 82-46. They dominated on the boards, 83-43, assuming I read that Spanish(?) wording correctly. USA is now 2-0 in their division.

Shouldn't a team that goes up to age 16 be considered "under 17" rather than "under 16"?

USA took a 114-32 win over Venezuela earlier today to emerge as the #1 seed in Group B with a 3-0 record. They will play Friday in the semis against the #2 seed from Group A-still to be determined.

2014 Texas target Recee’ Caldwell of Johnson High in San Santonio tied the USA record with six assists.

Semis set for Friday. USA, Canada, Puerto Rico and Brazil. Matchups: USA vs Puerto Rico and Canada vs Brazil.
