The unbeaten squad has powered through TJ Ford Academy, Game Elite, Midwest Basketball Club and Wildcat Select behind its size, depth and balanced scoring attack.

Saturday night's semifinal ended with Avery Jones knocking down the game-winner in the closing seconds, sending Austin Rivers into the championship on an emotional high. With good size, balance and multiple players capable of stepping up, Austin Rivers has proven it can execute when the pressure is highest.
