🚨 15U CHAMPIONSHIP PREVIEW | adidas 3SSB Boys Palmetto Road Championship 🏆 ⏰ Sunday | 2:00 PM 📍 Rock Hill Sports & Event Center Arena Austin Rivers Southeast Elite vs. No. 2 Team Loaded The final championship game of the weekend features two teams that have taken very different paths to Sunday's title game. No. 2 Team Loaded enters the championship 17-0 and has looked every bit the part of a national contender. 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. Team Loaded Leaders • Brayden Ragland – 18.3 PPG, 5.0 RPG, 62.9% FG • King Bacot – 14.0 PPG, 3.3 RPG, 2.3 APG • Niles Mason – 12.0 PPG, 70.6% FG • Kaedyn Cole – 11.0 PPG, 7.3 RPG • Michael Roper III – 8.7 PPG, 6.0 RPG, 64.7% FG Austin Rivers Southeast Elite arrives with plenty of confidence after one of the toughest championship runs in the field. After opening bracket play with a 77-63 win over D1 Minnesota, Austin Rivers survived three straight one-possession games, defeating New Heights NYC by one, Southern Assault by two and Indiana Elite by two. 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. Austin Rivers Southeast Elite Leaders • Avery Jones – 16.0 PPG, 6.0 RPG, 4.3 APG • Marco Johnson – 12.5 PPG, 5.8 RPG • Liam Lackaff – 8.8 PPG, 50.0% 3FG • Austin Triggs – 8.3 PPG, 4.0 RPG, 2.0 APG • Josue Oku – 7.5 PPG, 6.5 RPG, 1.0 BPG Will Team Loaded finish an undefeated championship run, or can Austin Rivers Southeast Elite ride its late-game momentum and championship confidence to the 15U title? @3SSB @SportsPassports @TeamLoadedBBall @SE_Elite_3SSB @1AveryJones @THEKINGOF2029KB @_justbrayden @kaedyn_cole #3SSB #adidasBasketball #3SSBBoysLive
