Chattanooga Elite are champions, capping the tournament with a 55-43 win in the final. The title run ended a perfect 4-0.
Across the four games, the team averaged 48 points scored against 39 allowed, a steady edge that carried them through each round. The defense gave little away while the offense found points from all over the roster.
Ollie Escandon led the way with 53 points across the four games, the top scorer for the champions. He had plenty of help. KT Magruder added 31 points, while Cannon Burns and Mason Chaudhari each chipped in 23. Michael Bryant III put up 19 points over the run.
This was a group that shared the load. More than half a dozen players found the scoresheet, and the points came from many hands rather than one. That balance is the story of how they won.
Honors followed the effort. Jameston Duff earned Tournament MVP. Escandon and Burns both took All-Tournament honors, a fitting reward for the work they showed all four games.
The rest of the roster filled in the picture. Colton Dunn scored 11 points across 3 games. Eyan Grant matched that with 11 points over the four games. Desmond Gee added 10 points, and Peighton Owens contributed 7. Darnell Brown scored 1 point across the four games, and Jonah Booker scored 1 point across 3 games.
Every name on this roster was part of a perfect tournament. Four games, four wins, and a championship to show for it. A team that scored together and defended together, and now they get to call themselves champions.
