US teams are champions!

First up this morning, USA time, the U17 team claimed gold at the FIBA World Championships in the Netherlands, by defeating Spain, 75-62. Diamond DeShields was named tournament MVP, and both she and Linnae Harper were named to the all-tournament team.

Four US players were in double figures, and Rebecca Greenwell had a double-double.
