The Long Island Lightning cemented their name as one of the top grammar school AAU programs in the country when they came to the Metro Hoops Battle of the Best and won the 11U, 12U and 13U Championships. This was the first time in the Battle of the Best history that a team walked away with 3 crowns.



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

12U and 11U Recap

MVP

Daniel Dingle (LI Lightning)-Dingle got it done with a mixture of scoring inside and on the perimeter. He is one of the main clogs for the New York juggernaut.

Other Top 12U Performers

Myles Davis (LI Lightning)-Since Davis gets it done on the 13 U level you could imagine what he did to these guys. He scored at will and was just too much for the opposition.

Emmanuel Brown (LI Lightning)-Brown is just too strong and aggressive to be denied on this level. He hits the boards like a mad man and just beats everyone to the punch.

Dominic Twitty (Team NJ Elite)-The huge post player shows flashes of being in a class by himself by scoring with a soft touch and draining jumpers. Though, sometimes he seems bored playing on this level.

Matthew Johnson (Team NJ Elite)-Johnson earned top performer from his squad because of his ability to create off the dribble. He has one of the quickest handles around and loves to drop dimes.

Winston McCleod (S. Carter Elite)-This 6th grader caused uproar at the tournaa!/k |NtizQs*R~i.u3,8ݣkؤUJ&@LqB!d-fz[IE)J{X!_0쎎֊rb SK#05ӥ>({yq5>CL ȕ1CLPhH`Nףmӳؙԅr>R3f)M[DY4l%<`;WlodRĵY#R̙~-ȺC#ԍf*ncD{+A\vT􀔈 DHB1wdR^e?StDƱ&rUp q 89,Dtm;x'0k#kEhb_bStL ]b4C5Ab={'C6}:j@#A FuTwp)9U{D+L|[z?k҆mOV\Zp6 bzmLy8qGE],\.
