TNL 17's Win The 1st Annual Twin City Spring Jam


The team win a tough championship game against TC Elite 75-66 to take the championship!

Playing in their first championship game this spring, the Express take a 37-32 lead behind the all around floor game of Devon Knopke (11 points) and the inside presence of Doug Sewall, Spencer Cummings and Lomumba Ismail.

The team turns up their back court pressure and answer a couple of Elite runs. Jauson Sewer scores 9 from long range as Kyle Zimmermann is unstoppable from the block. Ollie White gets out of his shooting slump for 6 points as Ismail gets 8 of his 10 points from running the court and playing hard. One of the 2nd half hi-lites was when Ismail hustled back on defense and threw a break away lay up off the backboard for a viscous block and break out lay up and then came back on the next possession and tipped in a missed layup. BJ Sherva who did not score in the game, made his defensive presence known as he made a couple of key stops down the stretch.

Team Tournament MVP - Jauson Sewer
