The tight-knit Will Rios Select (NY) 17U squad took full advantage of its final tournament together, going out on top as MADE Hoops Challenger Circuit Champions: madehoops.com/made-society/a…
Guard tandem of Derrick Kilgore (left) & Steven Jones (right) just paced Michigan Unified 17U MHC to a heated win over Jersey Force. Jones led with 21 points, while Kilgore added a strong 12, but all 12 were timely baskets when Unified needed them most.
Heavyweight MHC Sweet 16 battle between @NYJayhawks & @TTO17uNational has the gym buzzing - Tennessee, Maine, NJIT, UNCG, Boston U, Detroit Mercy, Umass Lowell, Hofstra, Pitt, Canisus, Norfolk St, Colgate among some of the schools watching this one
2028 guard Justice Grant paced Team Spartans 15U to a final four birth with 24 points. Grant has been a bright spot all weekend for the Spartans, seemingly impossible for opposing teams to stay in front of the attacking guard.
Team New England 15U punches their ticket to the final four with a win over Canada Elite MHC. ‘28 Forward Isaac Olaniba has been very impressive throughout the month of July. Runs the floor, pursues the glass with two hands, & blocks shots. Kyle Delves led with 18 points.
2026 F Sean Griffin has been highly important to @ECCyclonesbball run to the 17U title game. Skilled and rugged, Griffin embodies what makes this team great. Going to be interesting to see where the high academic big man ends up for college in year
