Mid-Term Report: Iowa Mavericks Black

The travel team circuit is at the midway point of the season, so we thought we would take a look at some of the top 17U teams from around the state and see how they have performed and where they will be later on this summer.

Iowa Mavericks Black (18-7)
Results so far:
Knickerbocker/Cornshark Shootout: 5-0 (Champions)
Pump-N-Run Spring Showcase: 0-4
Mid-America Classic: 4-1 (Runner-up)
17U AAU: 4-1 (Runner-up)
Spiece Memorial Day Run-N-Slam: 4-1

Upcoming events:
Schoolers Summer Classic
Next Level Invitational
Chicago Summer Classic
Nike Main Event

Key players: Tayler Bontrager, Andrew Wirth, Kyle Rodgers, Alex Vogel

Say What… Who are these guys? Seriously, most people would guess that the Attack, Barnstormers or Martin Brothers would have strong seasons going up against top regional and national competition, but the Iowa Mavericks? Well, say what you want to about these guys but they have gone out and taken care of business this spring. They have yet to have a signature win over a big program, but they have beaten all others. From all accounts, Taylor Bontrager and Andrew Wirth have been deadly from behind the arc almost all spring long. If these guys get hot they can beat anyone. Looking ahead, the team faces a very tough schedule. We will find out how good these guys are in the coming weeks.

Last Words… Nobody expects these guys to keep up their wining ways, but if they can even come close they will solidify their position as one of the top teams in Iowa.
