DENVER – Seal Beach 16 Black coach Michael Ma told his players Saturday that the Colorado Crossroads is not just about getting a bid to Junior Nationals; it’s “also about pride and a sense of ownership” in how you play.

Well, Seal Beach players listened to perfection by compiling a 3-0 record in pool play to remain undefeated overall (5-0) and earn a berth to the Gold bracket of the 16 USA division. Teams begin first-round matches in the single-elimination tournament Sunday at 8 a.m., with the Gold medal matches in all divisions scheduled for 2 p.m. at the Colorado Convention Center.
