Several quality middle school programs gathered at Suwanee Sports Academy for their chance to kick off their 2021 season. There were twists and turns and a few upsets along the way as the stars of tomorrow performed at a very high level. Our championship games were full of fireworks that our staff has recapped below.

Team Huncho 2028 got the best of TSF Mack 2028 in a closely-contested championship game. Team Huncho jumped out to an early lead, but TSF fought hard and never let Team Huncho pull away.

12 AND UNDER: San Diego Prospects 58, Team Power 2027 55

The San Diego Prospects won their second championship of the evening, as the 12 and under team secured a thrilling win over Team Power 2027, 58-55.

An early 5-0 run gave Team Power a lead, but it was immediately countered by a 7-0 run from the Prospects. This exchange set the tone for the back-and-forth affair that the game devolved into.

Team Power gained the slightest bit of separation and took a 6-point lead to halftime, but the Prospects came out of the break hot and regained the lead.

After the Prospects’ 13 U team won their championship game, they came over to support the 12 U team, and helped create a boisterous atmosphere to close the evening’s final game.

Team Power’s Dooney Johnson connected from deep to tie the game late. Johnson’s shot was answered by a Dax Hall layup to put the Prospects back on top for a lead they wouldn’t relinquish again.

AJ Williams and Dooney Johnson led the way for Team Power. Williams scored 15, and Johnson scored 13, including a pair of clutch 3-pointers.
