Great game for Timea to finish their weekend:
NWBA posted all of their recent games. Her mobility and conditioning still aren’t completely there, but she was really good all around.

I recently noticed Huth and Elle Ladine following each other on social media, not sure if that’s a recent follow or not, but even though we already have a four player class, I would not be opposed to adding a combo guard of Ladine’s caliber.
Here are some highlights from an earlier AAU tournament:

Off topic - but still something of a head scratcher.
How do these high school girls travel across the country to tournaments played in crowded gyms, by the hundreds, and no cases (that I know about) of Covid are reported?
Yet the most protected athletes in the world, at the Olympic Village and at different Olympic venues, report cases of Covid.
I admit to not being overly informed on this topic - are the h.s. girls playing in these tourneys throughout the country actually being tested on a regular basis?
It has puzzled me for some time now.....
GO BEAVS!!

I bet it's just not being reported because there isn't much press on these activities vs the Olympics. The virus isn't really mindful of how much attention the press pays; that's not a vector for infection. |

mbabeav - -obviously the Olympics are more high profile and Olympic athletes get more coverage - that's pretty much a given....
But if a Top 50 girl missed a tourney because she tested positive for Covid, I have a feeling the news would spread pretty fast through the basketball community...
Especially in today's instant news world...
Anyway, as I said at the beginning, its a bit of a head scratcher for me....
GO BEAVS!!

There are 11,000 athletes in Tokyo. As of today, FOUR have tested positive. Your typical girls basketball tourney has a few hundred athletes (I think the largest has something like 1500). It's hardly a fair comparison - and I'll wager that there have been a few Covid cases . . . we just haven't heard about them.

The Vaccine efficacy is nowhere near 100% for what we use in the US. Many countries use the Chinese vaccine, which I understand is at around 66% effective. So while these athletes are likely to have mild if any symptoms in most cases, there certainly will be a decent percentage that could test positive. |

I think that, at least in the United States, we are past the testing and isolation phase as a means of containing the spread of the disease. We are reverting to a more normal lifestyle, counting on individual vaccination for protection. This works, as evidenced by something like 98% of new cases (that was the Oregon number for May) occurring in the group that has not been vaccinated.
At this point in time, everybody in the United States who really wanted to be has been vaccinated. So, if you're organizing an activity that will bring large numbers together, you just figure that those who come are protected, and those who choose not to be protected will also choose to not come. You're not going to test everybody on the way into the facility.
Alternatively, you can require that proof of vaccination be submitted well before arrival, as so many universities are doing. Perhaps these tournaments are doing that for players, coaches, and staff.
