Continue ReadingSome of the storylines in the 17u division in the state of Georgia are hotter than a television drama series. Some players made a name for themselves, while other players stayed steady or dropped a little bit. Some teams became household names ,while other teams didn’t do as expected. Let’s take a look at the 17u division.
AOT 1-3? STOP PLAYING
Yes, AOT running rebels have started off the EYBL season 1-3. In fact, their losses hadn’t even been close. They were blown out in their 3 losses by 22, 31, and 19 points. To make matters worse, they gave up 120 points to Alabama Fusion and 117 to the Oakland Soldiers. With only two more sessions, can AOT turn it around? The backcourt of Sharife Cooper and B.J. Boston are making sure they AOT stay afloat. Cooper, leads the EYBL in scoring averaging 31 points a game. Last weekend, he had games of 37, 30,and 35. Boston ,scored 27 points on Saturday against Alabama Fusion. Who else can step up for the rebels? The road wont get any easier, as the Runnin rebels will play undefeated Indy Heat and 3-1 Team Durant next week in Indianapolis.
