#S16 - Sunday Varsity Social Media Blog
Crown Athletics brought their undefeated spring record into Connecticut for the Super 16 Memorial Day Showcase and look poised to capture their latest championship before Tyler Kolek's late game heroics lifted the Middlesex Magic to their 4th consecutive #S16 varsity division championship.
New Haven Heat North took their first Super 16 championship while NY Rens, Magic Downing, and Ensueno took other championships
Here's a look back on all of the action incase you didn't see it in person or weren't following along on social media.
