July saw an early 8-0 record, including topping Play Hard Play Smart by five in front of more than 50 coaches at the Nor Cal Tip Off, taking down Utah Select by 20 points and a 12-point victory over the Oakland Soldiers Silver.
As part of that run, Lakeshow also took.care of the Nevada Wolverines by 12 points and Moore Management by five to win the Three Stripes tournament (Anaheim) pool play. So Cal Pump N Run fell by 15 and South East LA Elite was able to cut the losing margin to 10.
In the Final Four of the event, Lakeshow fell by two points to Arizona Pump N Run, making them 8-1 overall. The game with Arizona, a team which featured three players committed to Pac-12 teams, was considered the premier event with a packed crowd and over 40 coaches watching.
Then it was time for Las Vegas and the adidas Super 64. Lakeshow bolted out to a 3-0 record in pool play, advancing to the super pool. The first matchup there was with the nationally-ranked DC Assault on the main court and the team from the nation's capitol won by three as Lakeshow missed 12 free throws. Over 100 college coaches and 1,000 fans were in attendance for the matchup.
Lakeshow bounced back to subdue the GR Storm #1 team from Michigan 93-73 and followed that success with another one, beating Team Steven Hunter Elite (Arizona), a sponsored team, by 15. Then Northwest Elite out of Washington also couldn't stay with Lakeshow, falling by 25.,
After Vegas, the 17s Black sported an 11-2 record.
The Best of Summer tourney followed and two more victories were quickly racked up against New Mexico's Latino Elite and Monarch. Then it was a rematch with DC Assault that resulted in a 10 point loss, followed by falling to Branch West by two points.
So July ended with a Lakeshow record of 13-4, 36-10 overall and a repping of Northern California that falls into the 'job well done' category..
