the Mad Dog 2027 team at Great 8 was the Mad Dog West Elite team of just California kids while the Mad Dog National West team at Naptown was Mad Dog National Black, comprised of players from Mad Dog West Elite (CA), Kings (CO) and Texas Nationals, along with a few others. So, no, not the same team at all. Naptown had numerous other national and regional teams, so different class of competition in that one.
