The journey was a test from start to finish. MILES SELECT finished the event with a record of 3-1, a mark that shows both the wins they earned and the one game that pushed them. They averaged 42 points scored and held opponents to 23 per game, a balance that points to a team built as much on defense as on offense.
That defensive identity carried through the bracket. Holding opponents to 23 points a game is the kind of steady effort that wins close games, and the title game proved it. The final landed at 52-47, a result decided by 5 points and earned the hard way against an opponent that stayed within reach the whole way.
When the honors were handed out, EJ Ej was named Tournament MVP. He also earned a spot on the All-Tournament team, recognition that reflects what he meant to this group across the event. For a championship team, having a player honored at the top of the field is a fitting reward.
Every member of this roster shares in the title. EJ Ej scored 6 points across his appearance, a contribution that added to the team total on the way to the crown.
This is a championship that belongs to MILES SELECT as a whole. The numbers tell a clear story: a defense that gave up just 23 a game, an offense that put up 42, and a record of 3-1 that ended with a trophy. The 52-47 final will be the line that families remember, the score that turned a season's work into a title.
Congratulations to MILES SELECT on being crowned champions. It is the kind of result that earns a spot on the wall, a reminder of the games played, the points earned, and the moment the title was won."}
