Four teams carry PA’s proud basketball tradition on their sneaker sponsored shoulders tonight.

BLUE

ITPS – Takes on Ohio Basketball Club, OBC is one of the flagship Adidas programs year in and year out. This is an interesting match-up for the states newest addition to the sneaker circuit. For one, OBC has made strong in-roads into Western PA to pull players in the past. A Wildcats win could go a long way in letting their Three Stripe brothers know they are all grown up.

K-Low Elite – Squares off with Team New England in the Nations Capital. After a strong scrimmage last week, K-Low is ready to represent for PA in the Adidas Gauntlet Series as well.

Philly Pride – Dallas, Texas is the site of Pride’s early tussle with West Coast royalty. Tonight’s game with West Coast Elite in the Under Armour Association for one of Eastern PA’s most consistant programs is expected to be highly contested.

Team Final – Looks to build on their late Peach JamFest playoff birth last July and compete for the 2018 Nike Title. 1st game of the EYBL season Pits TF against Arkansas’ Woodz Elite.

Gas up the automobiles and 747’s – grassroots basketball has just finished its cup of morning coffee and is wide awake… the warm-ups and scrimmages are over. Things are about to get real. Student-athletes across the state have been practicing since their high school seasons ended in anticipation of the NCAA April Live Period. From the kid on the mom & pop team with the hopes of he & his friends winning a couple of games and being seen on the main courts; to the kid affiliated with the highly successful organization, that’s known for developing their kids and placing them in schools; to the ultra-talented fully funded sneaker kid, traveling with his team full of Division I talent and potential pros, waiting in the airport hoping his love of basketball translates beyond a college scholarship and oneday onto a private Jet. One thing is for certain, whether they are headed to Pittsburgh, Ohio, New Jersey, Kentucky, Indiana, Texas, or DC, they all have one thing in common. Even tho’ there are Levels to this thing called travel ball…. As of tonight —ALL – still have hopes of performing well on the big state in front of college coaches. By Friday night the best players in the state of Pennsylvania along with many others with a dream will be on the hardwood ripping it up vying for that coveted scholarship. Best of Luck to all.
