Tip Off Classic Notes: Schedule Request/ Orange and Blue Divisions

0
0

The Basketball Spotlight Tip Off Classic Schedule will be posted this evening. Due to the amount of teams we cannot grant many schedule requests for this event. Also please keep in mind that Orange Division request are granted for teams that have performed well on the Basketball Spotlight circuit or have a national reputation on the AAU scene. Teams in the Blue Division can gain access to the Orange Division by proving they are too dominant for Blue Division competition. Finally, registering after the deadline can result in your team being left out of the Orange Division or tournament all together. The Orange and Blue Division concept was created to make competition even while giving the teams the best experience possible.

Tip Off Classic 6th Grade Preview: New Faces In New Places

0
0

The 6th Grade division at the Basketball Spotlight Tip Off Classic is loaded with teams and talent. Here’s a preview of the teams that will be making the march for the crown. 

Tip Off Classic 6th Grade Preview 

ETU Select: These boys supposed to be the best the Potomac Valley has to offer. Tyler Brelsford and Jahmir Young control the backcourts while Terrence “Big Smoove” Williams and Tyrese Jenkins will clog up the paint. Teams will be gunning to take them out. 

Team IZOD: This squad has brought together some of the top players in the region. Reigning POY Jalen Gaffney and AJ Hoggard have been joined in the backcourt by Jordan “The Real” McKoy. That might be enough fire power to run the table in anyone’s tournament. 

CJ Hawks: Guards Alex Klatsky and Brian Antione have received some scoring help from combo guard Khalif Battle. This tournament will be an interesting test for the Hawks. But they should be okay they been in the fire before. 

Team First: Another first year program from the Big Apple has a dynamic backcourt of John Wilson and Josh Pierre Louis. They should bring a lot of excitement and quickness to Lakewood, NJ. 

Mid Jersey Mavericks: MJM won a Blue Division crown now they have to bang with the big boys. We will get a firsthand look on how much heat they can handle. 

Diamond In A Rough: This squad is supposed to be the team to beat from the New England area now they will make their Spotlight debut. I hope they are ready for the real fire because here it comes. 

New Heights: This veteran squad seems to always stick around to at least the semifinals. Let’s see if they can continue this magic in Lakewood. 

Team Melo: The B’More boys are ready to make some noise and they have a tough pool to tangle in. Hopefully they have can survive in the trenches. 

CIA Bounce: The Canadian Boys come in highly touted so now it’s time to show and prove on the stage. Lights, camera, action it’s on.

Team IZOD AKA "Supreme Team"  

The 7th Grade Orange division at the Basketball Spotlight Tip Off Classic should be a dandy. The pools are stacked and with only one team advancing every game will count. Here’s who is in the building. 

Tip Off Classic 7th Grade Preview 

Team IZOD: All right enough talking has been done about this “Supreme Team”. Now it’s time to get it done on the floor. The 7th Grade field is very deep so there’s a chance they could get knocked off. 

Riverside Rens: Billy Council's squad sports a National top 10 ranking under their belt. They are also hungry for their first Spotlight banner. This weekend could be their time to shine. 

Playtime Panthers: These boys have regrouped and added some pieces. I see a real interesting matchup with Riverside Rens Sunday on the horizon. I like the size they have brought in. 

Mass Shooting Stars: MSS has been in action for most of the fall but now they will face some serious competition. They will have to knock off some top teams to make it to the winners circle on Sunday. 

Team Takeover: Veteran Coach Kevin Wormley has returned to take over this squad. He has a MDC banner under his belt and heavy Spotlight experience. Don’t be surprised if they make a deep run. 

Metro Sixers: It’s been a few years since the Metro Sixers have been in the Spotlight but now they return ready to tangle. Let the games begin. 

Diamonds In A Rough: This squad has been making some noise in their area now we will see what they are really made of. They have some serious competition to bang out against. 

Wall 2 Wall: W2W made a name for themselves last year now they will be looking to snatch a Orange crown. They got their player personnel situation together so they should be back afloat. 

Team Melo: TM has a chance to tackle the Supreme Team early on. They will need to bring an all out effort to get the job done. 

ECE: East Coast Elite returns with a cast of talent which helped them win the Division 2 National title. They will be looking at a long awaited rematch with Team IZOD on Sunday. 

Others To Watch For: Playaz, CIA Bounce, New Heights, Team Final and 6th Man Warriors

CBC AKA Money Team

The 8th Grade Orange division at the Basketball Spotlight Tip Off Classic is stacked like pancakes. Some serious questions definitely will get answered this weekend. Here’s a look at the teams involved. 

Tip Off Classic 8th Grade Preview 

CBC: The “Money Team” looks like the early favorite to defend their Tip Off Classic crown. Their roster is thick and they even have a deep bench. We expect them to be in attack mode from the beginning. 

Team Final: The Grand Finale Champs will be looking to return to the #1 spot in our rankings. They will have a tough task during pool play with a city rival on Saturday and Nike affiliate (Playaz) on Sunday. 

Team Takeover: TT looks to be ready for this winner take all format. They have experience and the talent to run the table. I’m looking forward to watching them tangle with Expressions. 

Expressions: Speaking of the X. The Beantown boys are here to spoil the party. They are coming off a championship game loss to CBC in Massachusetts so they should be hungry for some get back. 

St. Michaels: This group is flying under the radar but actually enters this event with the most 8th Grade experience. If they catch fire at the right time they could snatch our first banner of the season. 

DC Assault: DCA will be ready to chomp on some competition. They are very eager to win their first Spotlight crown and have the loaded crew to get it done. 

CIA Bounce: We didn’t actually lay out the welcome mat for our international guest. They have a serious pool including St. Michaels and DC Assault. But I know they wanted to play some heavy comp. 

Playaz: The Terminator and crew should be exciting to watch. I’m looking forward to their match up with Team Final on Sunday. 

New Heights: MH has added some pieces since last season and should be a dangerous team in this event. True hustle and execution will be the key to their success. 

Blue Magic: Formerly MABC this group has been yearning for the Orange Division for a while. The earned their right now I hope they can handle the heat. 

Team Melo: TM earned their right to be in the Orange Division after a strong showing at the AC Showcase. Now they have to swim with the sharks. Hopefully they will survive. 

Milbank: “The Bank” will anxious be get off to a good start and maybe make another run to the Grand Finale Final Four. 

Others To Watch: JCBC, PYO, UPlay (Canada)
