The start of June is upon us and that has to get players and teams all around the region excited about the upcoming months for travel and high school ball. Teams came into town in Bermuda Run to come and compete at the Phenom Summer Showcase, as they were looking to take home some hardware.
In the final game of the afternoon, we hit the 17u Division between BLPB 2022 Willliams and WBC Aria Paris and boy was it a good one. Both teams really came out and competed and it was a heated matchup. Both teams looked early to get multiple players involved, but the duo of Mike Best and Treyvon Byrd set the ton for NLPB. In the second half, WBC was able to get Josef Fullwood and Mikhail Pocknett more involved but it was tough to slow down Best and Byrd, as they combined for 49 points. In the end, it was NLPB 2022 Williams that secured the 75-72 victory and took home the championship at the Phenom Summer Showcase.
