We will find out which wards have teams, discuss rules, and set up the first week' so schedule. The games start  Thursday Sept 21.Spread the word.



SAMS LDS GOLF TOURNAMENT
  Sat. Sept  16, 2:00 (twi-lite rates)
   Brookview golf court in golden valley.

New this year we will have team competition! Along with the individual tournament.
 How team competition works, each team (ward) will have 4-3-2 or even on player on the team. Everyone plays their own ball and keeps their own score, but the best score of the team on that hole will be the teams score.  Not a scramble but low ball for the team score.
    For example if there ar four of us and one gets a 6 one gets a 5 one gets a 4 one gets a 3. Each player records their own individual score counting towards the individual competition but the team score will be "3".  This was even the novice individual can stay engaged.
   We will still have the individual skills competition, and play by " atonement rules".
   We have to have firm commitments by Thursday the 14th.
$21 to walk and $31.50 to ride, pay at the course.
  Fun fellowship competition, and now teamwork!  Spread the word.

The men's championship game is this Thursday May 4, 7:30 at the Crystal building.

SAMS LDS MENS TOURNAMENT UPDATE

.        What a great and unpredictable night of basketball.  The committee is very proud of it's prediction rate as being almost always right 83.2 % of the time. That all went out the window last night.
        Bottom line #8 North St. Paul will be playing #10 Maple Grove for the championship Thursday May 4 7:30 at the Minneapolis (Crystal) stake center.
       At St. Paul ,  in the first quarter final game the  top seeded Lake Nokomis  continued their streak of bad luck in the tournaments by being even at half time with North St. Paul, but in a game that " more resembled a rugby game than a basketball game, NSP got hot and Lnok. Got cold and NSP pulled away and won handlily.
     In the other quarter final Plymouth/Minnetonka  and Elm Creek were nip and tuck all game with Plymouth/Tonka winning by one in a game where  both teams had chances.
   In the  Final four game, the two evenly matched teams. They played earlier with Plymouth/Minnetoka winning by one.  The game went back and forth with the final 3  minutes lasting about 25 minutes.  Trialing by one with 3.4 seconds to go shooting an one and one.  They miss the first free throw... however  they get the rebound and the followup shot was blocked "Possibly fouled but not called" and time expired.
    At Anoka in the first quarterfinal, Second seed TC1 lost a nail biter to Blaine. With 15 seconds to go and trailing by one TC1 drove to the basket missed the driving lay up and the rebound was knocked the up of bounds at the same time by both teams. Fortunately for Blaine the arrow was pointing in their favor. A last second three by Blaine sealed the deal.
    In the biggest surprise #10 Maple Grove playing with out their best player, who left for Germany hours before the game, played #3 Shingle Creek who added their best player Dana Oelkers who played sparingly during the regular season to spend more time with his kid.
     The game had the feel that Shingle Creek, which lead most of the way, was on the verge of pulling away the whole game. Every time they got a 5-6 point lead Maple Grove would hit a three or convert a three point play to keep it close.
      Near the end when Maple Grove had to resort to fouling. The outcome came down to free throws. Maple Grove made almost all their free throws and Shingle Creek, normally very good free throw shooting team, missing many key free throws.  Down the the final 15 seconds, Shingle Creek leading by 2 gets fouled shooting a three, thus three free throws to ice the game. However they miss all three!
     With fouls to give Maple Grove is fouled, trailing by two with 2 seconds to go.  Maple Grove had two excellent shooters they tried to work the inbounds pass to. shingle Creek doubled teamed both shooters, however they left the center unguarded by the  basket and the passer saw him hit him with the pass and he scored a layup at the buzzer to send it to overtime.    
        Controlling the tap and hitting a quick three Maple Grove stunned Shingle Creek in overtime.
       In the final four game  a very tired and cramping Maple Grove team played a stiff Blaine team to a close finish, with the score tied with 2 minutes to go. Maple a Grove hit a three and made their free throws to win a close one.
 Championship game Thursday May 6, 7:30 at Crystal

        Put it on your calanders and spread the word,
   SAMS LDS TRI STAKE GOLF TOURNAMENT SATURDAY SEPT. 9, 2017.  More details to follow.

Tournament update

.       They young  men's tournament  will be interesting, the committee is having a hard time picking the favorite. Of course as always it all depends who shows up. With spring breaks, temple trips etc etc a team Missing key players can go from favorites to also rans.
    Andover is the top seed but closely followed by Maple Grove a,  and Plymouth.
     Shingle Creek and Med. Lake are dark horses. Add a high school player to a team and everything changes.

Eligibility:
* Any baptized member of your ward can play regardless of them playing during the season.
* Non member must have played at least once during the season.
*   High  school  players must be Baptized members of your ward and if there are more than one, (lucky) only one on the court at a time.
*Over time, unlike the regular season where the first overtime is 2 minutes, and the second overtime is sudden death, but you must win by two.  In the tournament there is no sudden death we will keep playing  2 minute overtime periods until there is a winner.  The first  overtime period starts with a jump ball, and the alternating possession resets, additional over times start using the alternating possession arrow.
*. Before each game before the prayer lets establish who are member and who are non members and high school players. Remember only two non members per team on the court at a time.

Good luck to all!
