My opponents are all fast, tall, and young\u2026 but I\u2019m very happy that I was recognized by the committee as the best guard for both divisions and masters division MVP.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the semi open division, the MVP was sharp shooter Sean Licayan who downed six 3-pointers and one field goal for a total of 20 points.<\/p>\n
