SISU won the Danish championship 84–82 in the U14 men's division Thursday evening in a hard-fought battle against the BMI Bloodhounds. SISU showed very even scoring, with five players in double digits: Mathias Dons 14, Alexander Shain 12, Thomas Høj Fierro and Philip Nørrevig 11 each, David Leth 10, Rasmus Krebs 9 (including two decisive free throws with less than 30 seconds left), Lukas Speidel 8, Amandus Brückner 7 and Oliver Wellendorf 2. For the BMI Bloodhounds, Marius Kirkholt scored 24, Søren Harbo 19, Mads Damgård 10, Kristian Stig 8, Albert Julin 7, Lasse Thorup 6 and Johs Rungholm, Emil Thomasen, Peter Kofoed and Gustav Toft 2 each.

Eastern Denmark won all eight of the Danish championships, including the finals of the U18 men. Six were played in Solrød, and there were some close games and some very lopsided games. The Virum U16 men, which beat the SISU 1997 men in the finals for eastern Denmark (see below), won a barnburner in overtime against Hjemly 109–108. The BMS U21 men, who beat SISU 58–49 in the final for eastern Denmark, won by 66–51 over Aabyhøj. Finally, Amager, which won 70–69 over SISU, trounced Aabyhøj 68–24. Ouch. So SISU seemed to be number 2 in the country in the last two divisions.

The U16 men: the SISU 1997 men, who beat Værløse 61–58 (story below) in the semifinal, got whupped soundly 83–50 (story below) in the final by Virum's big men, Jacob Glarbjerg and Johannes Leth. One hopes that they are 1996 men and will be gone next year, when the 1997 men are still in the same division as this year.
