The high school championships of the high school division are in the books for the third stop of the Georgia Cup. Here’s what happened on Championship Sunday.
Team Impact wins 17U championship
Coming off of a win of their bracket last week at Atlanta Jam, Team Impact was looking to add another trophy to the trophy case this week at the Georgia Cup. After a rigorous comeback victory in the semifinals over Atlanta All Stars, Impact stayed on a roll to beat Atlanta TapOut 69-37.
The MVP of the 17U division was Allatoona point guard Ephraim Tshimanga who was on a mission to score the ball all weekend, and did just that, averaging over 20 points per game. Myles Lake, Dylan Autenrieth, and Jeremiah Bivins also enjoyed good weekends for Impact.

Trey Wilson led the Warriors with 16 points. Amari Beacham added 9 points in defeat.
