AC Showcase Preview: 12U Division

Can Team Battle Handle The Heat!

The 12U Division is loaded at the AC Showcase. There’s nowhere to hide this weekend. This event should answer a lot of questions for this age bracket. Here’s a breakdown of the top teams in attendance.

12U AC Showcase Preview


Team Battle: TB is coming off of a D2 NJ title but should be still hungry for some hardware. They look good in the AGame Apparel so expect an explosion in America’s Playground. It’s do or die time baby.

F.A.C.E.S.: The Killer Bees have some unfinished business. They want that #1 spot and they can make a case this weekend by taking home the crown. Speed kills and this squad has a lot of that.


New Heights: Here comes the squad from over the bridge. The Bed-Stuy Bully means business and would like some more Spotlight hardware on the shelf. They have added a few pieces so things should get interesting.

Team Scan: Coach Dave is anxious for some serious work and his boys always follow his lead. They have solid guard play and the never quit attitude. This is a serious field so they will be heavily tested.


Baltimore Panthers: Welcome Panthers! This squad should be equipped for the spotlight battlefield. They always play hard and have the talent to run the table. They have a Sunday matchup with New Heights that should be exciting.

CT Elite: I hear this team is making a lot of noise in the New England area. Well they are coming to the terror dome with this list of teams. Let’s see if they can fight their way thru.


Sam Cassell All Stars: The weather caused us not to get a good look at this bunch. But the forecast says 80 degrees Saturday so it’s on. I’m excited to see them tangle with Team Scan Sunday.


Staten Island Ironmen: There’s something about this squad that catches my attention. I love the way they play the game and don’t back down to anyone. They are coming to play and might knock a few teams off.

Playtime Panthers: These boys are capable of upsetting anyone at anytime. Coach Mike will not let them go out without a fight so let’s get ready to rumble. They will have a huge test with #1 Team Battle on Sunday.


Other Teams To Watch Out For: South County Elite, Philly Triple Threat, Delaware Finest Stars, Annadale Boys and Girls Club, Flash Basketball, Future Players
