Mid Atlantic AAU 12U Championship Recap: Peacemakers Cruise To Crown!

Peacemakers Are Mid Atlantic Champs!

Semaj Motley pumped in a game high 30 points as the Peacemakers defeated Central Penn Ballers 70-51 to win the Mid Atlantic AAU 12U Championship. Bryce Hall was the leading scorer for CPB.

Top Performers

Semaj Motley Guard (Peacemakers)-
Semaj had it going on. He burned the nets from deep especially in the second half when his squad pulled away. I also love the way he glides to the tin and scores with his floater or runner. This kid is extremely tough for his size.


Jaekwon Carlyle Guard (Peacemakers)- Carlyle also got in on the action with a few jumpers and tear drops near the cup. Jaekwon has unique poise and sneaky athleticism. He doesn’t kill you with flash but instead uses substance to get the job done.

Quadir Phillips Forward (Peacemakers)- The wiry forward controlled the paint and outworked the opponents for the pill. He’s very active and athletic on this level and plays with a lot of energy.


Bryce Hall Guard (CPB)- Hall can flat out shoot the rock. He torched the net during the semifinals and tried to have an impact in the finale. He’s a smart ball player that tries to pick his spots to score. His form and release is something to watch.

AJ Perez Forward (CPB)- Perez had a tough time finishing shots but his basketball IQ and feel for the game is apparent. He has good court vision and is very light on his feet. He can play either the guard or forward spot.

Jahad Neibauer Forward (CPB)- Jahad is a quick athlete the runs the floor well and has a good nose for the ball. This weekend he got involved on the boards, on defense and in transition. This kid was everywhere on the floor.
