Our EBC Elite I high school team coached by Todd Rubin, completed a great run on Monday, July 25th in the Adidas Super 64 in Las Vegas. They competed against 181 different teams in the U-17 division. After finishing first in pool play and with a 2-1 record, they won the right to play in the championship bracket.
They played Franchize All-Stars in round 1, Family first in round 2 and beat DC Assault in the Sweet 16. They lost to Dream Vision in the final Elite 8. Dream Vision has the top #1 recruit in the nation and finished 2nd in the tournament.
What makes their run so special was there has not been a team in our area that finished in the top 8 since Rotary in 2007 and FOH in 2004. They competed against teams that had D1 recruits while EBC had no player currently being recruited by D1 schools.....we feel this may change now! :-)
They did it all with teamwork and motivation with a solid work ethic.
They are truly the example of....."Where Success Follows Hard Work."
This summer the team has accomplished:
Championship at the NW Hoops Spring Invitational
Championship at the Washington Premier Spring League
2nd Place at the NW Premier Showcase NCAA Event
Elite 8th Place Finish at the Adidas Super 64 in Las Vegas
