The Basketball Spotlight circuit has come to an end and our Grand Finale Champions have been crowned. Here’s our breakdown of the Top 10 teams. Please remember these rankings are only our opinion and should be taken as such.
Basketball Spotlight 11U Top 10 Presented By AGame Team Apparel
1. Team Nelson: TN defeated rival ECE-NJABC to win the Grand Finale crown. Now they are at the 5th Grade Nationals and will be looking to improve on their #9 ranking from last year.
2. ECE-NJABC: NJABC went most of the season at the #1 spot and still have a chance to return if they have a deep run in Cocoa Beach. They had a very successful 2011-12 campaign.
3. Playtime Panthers: PP fell short during the Grand Finale but still has the pieces to make something happen at the Nationals. We will be watching them closely.
4. PV Select: The Potomac Valley combination of DC Assault and Team Takeover has created shock waves through the East Coast.
5. New Heights: NH finished off a good season and we wish them well at the AAU Nationals. I think this team will be a problem for opponents in years to come.
6. CJ Hawks: The Hawks have the capability to perform against any competition. The AAU Nationals will be a true test.
7. New Rens: They made the most of their Spotlight appearances. Hopefully if they are attending the AAU Nationals they will perform on a high level.
8. KSK: KSK won the MDC Blue Division crown so they will have something to build upon. Can’t wait to see them next season.
9. Team Rebels: The Rebels are tough crew and hopefully next season they will have everything clicking and show their real potential.
10. Mid Jersey Mavericks: MJM is a team that surprised us at the AC Showcase. Next season they will definitely be thrown into the fire.
