That 15-under featured the stars of tomorrow and boy will they be fun to watch the next couple of years as they prepare for college.  Ohio Basketball Club (OBC) has taken a lot of fun out of the “where will they end up” questions because point guard Noah Cotrill has already committed to West Virginia and forward Dakota Euton has committed to Kentucky. 

Dc Assault also has some names of their own in 6-8 Josh Hairston, 6-0 Eric Atkins, and 6-2 Tyler Thorton

DC got the lead early and led 37-27 at halftime.  In the second half Noah Cotrill raised his level of play and showed why he is one of the top point guards in the country.  Cotrill hit a pair of 3-pointers and tossed some assist and before you knew the game was tied. 

DC answered right back with a run of their own led by Tyler Thorton.  DC closed the game out by knocking down six free-throws in the final minute to claim a 71-64 victory.  Tyler Thorton won MVP honors with his 21 points.  The 6-8 Hairston was equally worthy as he controlled the paint for Assault and slowed down Dakota Euton.  Euton is used to posting up smaller players and taking bigger players off the dribble but everywhere he went Hairston was right with him step for step.
