HOUSTON - This past weekend was a milestone for Slam Jam as it celebrated its 10th anniversary.
Forty-two boys teams competed in the one-day event, which included squads that traveled from as far as Laredo, Austin and Beaumont to test their hoops skills. The teams consisted of groups of fourth to eighth grade divisions.
The highly competitive tournament was held at the Louetta Sports Complex, which houses six courts in the Cypress area.
"This event is designed to prepare teams for the upcoming spring/summer season," VYPE Vice President of Sales and Events Derek Dusek said. "It was so awesome to see these teams compete at a high level in February. I also want to give a shoutout to the staff at Louetta Automotive Sports Complex; they were fantastic!"

On Wednesday, the Concordia Lutheran Crusaders girls basketball team took on the St. Agnes Tigers in a tough district matchup!
Check out the highlights from the game below!
While there were several good district clashes lost week, there wasn’t a lot of movement in this week’s Girls Power Rankings. Westlake blasted two more opponents to remain on top and close in on a 30-win season.
Liberty Hill, Glenn and Vandegrift remain #2-#4 despite Liberty Hill’s loss to a rapidly improving Cedar Park club. (The Lady Panthers had just defeated the Lady Grizzlies the previous week; hence they remained slightly ahead – for now.) Bowie’s win over #7 Austin High allowed the Lady Dawgs to climb over Round Rock into the Top 5.
Austin High and Lake Travis stayed put while Rouse traded places with Dripping Springs to round out the Top 10.
Cedar Park moved up two spots after a quality loss to Glenn and a quality win over Liberty Hill. Lastly, Austin LASA cracked the Rankings with two impressive wins, including a victory over a good Crockett club.
As the Girl’s district season heads down the back stretch, here’s where they stand.
