Why in the world did an 18 year old team play a 16 year old team so many times?

How is that at all productive for the 18s?

The Heat got thumped by exactly one team last summer....the Marshals. The reason we played them twice in OKC, was the original tournament director ran off with all the funds and there wasn't an official tournament. Our coach worked with the other coaches that were already in OKC to put on a quasi-tournament to at least get in some games.

The 16yo Heat team beat more 18U teams last summer than they lost.
