“The Saturday before was our first time practicing together,” said EAB Director/17u Head Coach Mike Couey. “When Hoopseen put it together, they asked us if we wanted to play 2 or 4 games and we had planned on getting together on Saturday so it worked out for us.”

EAB. The beginning.
Take a look at a longer stretch during which Darrius Davis (NC) attacks over and over with Felix Okpara Felix Okpara 6'11" | C Hamilton Heights | 2022 #51 Nation MO , Alex Anderson Alex Anderson 6'7" | SF Tipton-Rosemark Academy | 2021 TN , and Davon Barnes Davon Barnes 6'5" | SF Collierville | 2021 State TN crashing the glass. Despite their wonderful talent, this game certainly contained too many empty possessions. Why? The reasons are many: rust, tough defense, unfamiliarity, etc. Evaluate for yourself.
EAB scrapped and clawed throughout and fought their way back into the game. Considering how deep the team is at wing, it appears they will thrive when able to create turnovers and run, run, run. Facing HYPE, the attack in the halfcourt was especially difficult.
The First Loss
Though they fought back into the contest, EAB’s defense couldn’t catch up completely. This final play wrapped it all up in a bow.
EAB is again one of the top 5 AAU teams in the state. Grant Slatten Grant Slatten 6'5" | SG White County | 2021 State TN gained a lofty recruiting bump coming out of this mid-July weekend. Morehead State offered July 21st and Florida State Head Coach Leonard Hamilton planned a ZOOM meeting for the same evening.
