IAABO 2012 Tap Off Tournament

With teams from Chelmsford, Acton-Boxborough, Lincoln-Sudbury, Westford, and others the final came down to two NH teams. Londonderry vs. Pelham. Londonderry got the victory 67 - 54 by playing a strong game of team basketball on both ends of the floor

I think Londonderry will be a force to reckon with this year, with theirs two massive centers and there senior leader who can play any position on the court. Also with coveny and ball there backcourt is tough to guard. Also knock down shooter coleman is tough to cover. Watch out for Londonderry this year, I see them potentially having the court rushed at UNH this year!!

Caught the final game. Both teams were impressive. No rosters were handed out so I got no names but #151 for Pelham can shoot with any high school kid I have ever seen. Londondery's backcourt is very good #4 and #25. Both good ball handlers and passers #4 is exceptionally quick. Londonderry also had a pair of bigs that were both at least 6'6 that Pelham a tough time dealing with. Based on what I saw of these two teams they should both do well during the season.

Yes 151 was an outstanding player, but it seemed at though at one point in the game kids were getting in his head. If he wants to be good he should let that go. But I did notice that 169 Kevin cheene (sorry for spelling mistakes) who was ranked on nh notebook did little to nothing showing the outstanding team defense by the lancers even against the flex

Londonderry is number 1 in the state and if someone says different please tell me why you think so

Pelham 151 is Jake Vakinoras (Spelling?)
Londonderry #4 is Drew Coveney, #25 is Cody Ball

I saw Londonderry play last year at BG. They had a freshman center, big kid, I think his name was Miller. He impressed me with his foul shooting technique(9for 10) but his hustle on defense was relentless. This kid is still growing and I can see him as a big time talent..

Name is actually Rob Wilson. Played AAU ball this spring and fall for Frank Alosa's Granite State Raiders. Should see lots of playing time on varsity this year.

Also big 6 5 pushing 300lbs center mike Russell from londonderry will almost be impossible to stop, just like central's Pelletier this year
