Congratulations EABA Seniors on Winning the Midwest Spring Slamm, Ohio, 2012

Congratulations to the Elite Advanced Basketball Academy (EABA) Senior Squad players and coaches for winning the Ohio 2012 Midwest Spring Slamm!  You guys played together as a team, and you each played with a lot of passion, purpose, and energy!  The team was undersized in numbers and height,  but you made up for it with skill and heart!  We can’t forget the “6th man” – the EABA sophomore and junior squad players and coaches that stayed to cheer on the seniors.  You helped raise the energy in the gym and push the team to close out the game!  Great Job EABA!
