TEAM CARROLL CLOSES GREAT WEEKEND OUT STRONG

Team Rival trailed by as much as 19 points late in the 3rd quarter, but came back to tie the game early in the fourth quarter. The game remained tight down to the end and Team Carroll, led by point guard Trey Bonham, hit their free throws down the stretch to hold on for the win and cap an undefeated weekend.

Team Carroll was led by Bonham, with 19 points. Willie Screws had 12 points and Mason Cooper had 13 points for Team Carroll. Braylen Howard led a balanced Team Rival attack with 12 points. Freddy Wood added 11 points and Justin Coleman 10 points.

TRIPLE DOUBLE TAKES HOME 12U

The East Point Runnin' Rebels took on Triple Double for the 12U championship in the first session of the Georgia Cup. Neither program is a stranger to the Cup or Suwanee Sports Academy.

On this day, Triple Double had the upper hand. Oscar Lynch provided the first half scoring and got his team out to a big first half lead. Triple Double, however, would have to survive a late surge by the Rebels, who were lead by Kobe Davis. They did that on the back of point guard Ethan Underwood, who was fantastic all weekend, to win the game 45-38 to take home the trophy.
