Philadelphia, PA- Each year many of the top teams throughout the state of Pennsylvania and the northeast region battle it out at Big Shots Philly Final. This year's event sold out with over 120 teams & was held at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center.
Tyree Thorp led Team Final Black in a dominant win over Next Play Basketball to win the 11U title 61-10. Tyree could not be stopped in the championship game as he finished with 22 points. His size and scoring ability was put on display all weekend and it showed why he led the division in scoring with 13.5 PPG. Not only did he score the ball, but defensively he was special. If he was not altering shots he was getting rebounds and pushing the break looking to score. Thorp had some help in the title game as Brandon Butler & Jonathan Ly chipped in double digits each. Butler finished the championship game with 14 and Ly finished the game with 10 points.
Benico Breslen of Next Play Basketball was also a standout performer in the 11U division as he placed second in the division in scoring. Breslen averaged 13 PPG ,and helped bring his team to the championship game.
