Their lead stayed consistent through the second half, and Wellington won by a final of 50-41. 

Marvel Allen lead Wellington with 12 points with Justin Sitomer adding 8. In the loss for the Miami Monstars, Terri Glasgow had 10 points.

9U: TEAM MAMBA 52, CBF FLORIDA 49 OT

Everything about the 9 and under title match-up felt like a National Championship. The intensity was high. Every possession mattered. Back and forth they went. In the end, CBF Florida brought home the trophy in a well-earned win over Team Mamba. 

This was a classic. 

The lead never rose above six points for either team and CBF Florida always seemed to have just enough insurance on the board to hold off any Team Mamba run. 

Of course it had to go to overtime. Team Mamba made the first bucket and never looked back. Intense defense and clutch foul shooting secured the win 52-49 in overtime. 

Team Mamba was led by Landon Joseph, who finished with 21 points in the win. He was clutch down the stretch. Xani Scott added 12 while Dia Bell capped off his strong week with 11.

CBF Florida had great production from the Boozer brothers. Cayden scored a team high 15 while Cameron added eight. Michael Feencne also scored 8 for CBF. 

The title game was one of the best games of the entire tournament across all age groups.
