Over the weekend, the Brevard Elite 5th Grade team stepped up in age to face 6th grade teams in the Big Shots Memorial Day Classic held in Daytona Beach.
Saturday morning's game provided a warm up for the team, as they moved easily through the event with a sizable margin of victory against North Point Black.
The evening event was a bit more difficult, as the team faced off against the TAB Spurs 6th Grade team. After trailing much of the game and by as many as 12 points with about 6 minutes remaining in the game, the team upped the pressure and went on a run that ended up sending the boys to a 40-37 win.
In a game that was much closer than the score would indicate, the weekend ended Sunday morning with a 45-24 loss against the Orlando Truth 6th Grade team. While facing an incredible size disadvantage, the team battled hard and held an early lead against the team from Orlando.
Through the weekend, the team showed great heart and determination. With a balanced attack and unselfish play, the team ended the weekend with 3 of the Top 11 scorers from the tournament with James Black-Strain leading the way for Brevard Elite by finishing with the second highest scoring average of any player. Hunter Davidson finished the weekend with the 9th highest scoring average and Q'Mare Phillips came in with the 11th highest scoring average.
Great job, Brevard Elite 2021!
