Inside AC Showcase: 12 and Under Division

The Team Final Train Keeps Moving!

The 12U division at the Atlantic City Showcase was exciting to the very end. It was heavily loaded from top to bottom and the games had heads turning all day. Here are some of the interesting stories that have emerged.

Team Final: New Name Same Results

Team Final proved that they are the top team in the region by blitzing the competition in Atlantic City. I was usual fashion a bunch of mercy rule games, a few scares in the playoffs and finally TF raising the trophies and holding the banner. This is a well rounded team that has a real shot of winning it all in Hampton this summer.



Men In Black Spoil Dream Match Up!

The stage was set for a championship match up between the regions #1 Team Final and #2 Team Takeover. The problem was somebody forgot to tell Rob Cole and his boys from North Jersey. Wearing their black uniforms F.A.C.E.S. jumped on Team Takeover early in the semifinals and held on for a huge victory. Their always seems to be a team that’s favorite going home empty handed at a Basketball Spotlight tourney.



The City Knocking On The Door!

The City and Team Final have locked horns 3 times and The City is getting closer and closer to dethroning the champs. In Atlantic City it was a tug a war match for most of the game until in the middle of the second when Team Final put together a serious run. The City will get another soon as both teams will make the trip to Neptune for the MDC.
