The 11th Annual Blessan Samuel Classic is in the books!
Congrats to DCZ Finest on winning a BSC record 4
championships.
GAME OF THE YEAR: Brooklyn vs Toronto - BSC Opener. It's a
rare occurrence when the opening game of a tournament turns out to be the game
of the year but this matchup of last year's championship turned out to be that
way. The game went to Overtime and Toronto showed they were here to stay.

help, this event could not have happened. Jenet Poopalan, Andrew Samkutty, Crystal George, Charles

Special thanks to Justin George of the Toronto
Archangels for writing up the following team by team breakdowns for 2013!
Final 2013 BSC Power Rankings
1
DC: What
more can be said? They are the four-time champs; a feat that has never been
accomplished by any other team in BSC history. Missing a solid big man last year
definitely hurt them, but with the return of David Kadiri aka Big Baby, that
inside presence was felt by every team. With Jarvis leading his troops and Alvin
and Justin dropping those timely threes, it all came together for them. Going
undefeated and winning their fourth championship makes them a dynasty. The team
to stop them from getting their fifth in 2014 is still up in the air.
All Star:
David Kadiri
BSC MVP:
David
Kadiri

Philly:
The Ballaz continue
to be slept on and they continue to give teams a rude awakening. Though they are
the oldest team in the tournament, their chemistry and basketball IQ are the
reasons why they win! The addition of all-star, Vinil Abraham, improved their
perimeter game. They simply outsmarted the more athletic Archangels in the semis
to reach the finals where they eventually lost to DC. While their days seem
numbered, something tells me they are not looking to slow down to get that
coveted championship.
All Star (2nd Team):
Vinil
Abraham

Toronto:
Another strong year from this talented team! They were the
only team that made DC work for their win with a mere three-point loss to the
eventual champs in the regular season. With a 2012 finals appearance, many
thought this team would make it to the finals again, but Philly had other plans.
While it was a disappointing year for them, they produced three all stars in
Terrill, Shane, and Andrew. Terrill provided the crowd with an epic three-point
competition by dethroning Justin Thomas for the title. Hopefully with a healthy
return of their floor general, Shannon, they will make 2014 a memorable
tournament.
All Star (2nd team):
Andrew Aye

Brooklyn: After
a tough overtime loss to Toronto at commencement of the
tournament, Brooklyn looked determined to bounce back.
The lack of a bench the first day may have made them
struggle but their all stars, Vincent, Jabbar, and
Jordan, shined bright. With a strong showing versus
Strong Island in the playoffs, they looked to ride that
momentum against DC, but ran into trouble from start of
the semifinals. Still, last year’s champs cannot be
slept on! Look for them to come out stronger than ever
in 2014.
All Star:
Jabbar

Strong Island:
After a three-year hiatus, the return of this
team with a totally revamped roster impressed many. They
were in every game and even won the battle of New York
against last year’s champs in the regular season. Led by
their all-star point guard, Abel Abraham, solid shooting
from the perimeter, and scrappy defense, their games
were exciting to watch. The upside of this team is
scary. All you veteran teams, watch your back for the
Stunnaz have truly returned!
All Star:
Abel Abraham
6
Gburg: The
inconsistency bug continues to plague this team. With the return of Owusu brothers at full health and a strong roster, many
thought that this team would do some serious damage. Regardless of their
showing, the individual highlight of Teddy’s all-star selection proved that his
point guard abilities led the team in most of the games.
All Star (2nd team):
Teddy
Owusu
7
Lanham:
Congrats to the
Legends for their first win in team history. Improvement was definitely seen
this year especially in Calvin Thomas and David Singh. They have a very young
squad that has plenty of potential to grow into a strong team. Keep practicing
fellas!
8
Montreal:
Much respect is
due to this team for not only making it out for the first time ever but also
taking the long, long trip from up North. They had some close games but alas,
their lack of bench depth hurt them. With the addition of a few more solid
pieces next year, this team can make some noise.
- Justin George
2014 BSC - First
look:
As the BSC enters year
number 12, DC is clearly the team to beat, however Toronto is biting right at
their heels. Philly has proven that they aren't going anywhere, and Brooklyn,
Strong Island, Gburg, Lanham and Montreal will be looking to take their game to
the next level! Can't wait to see you there!
Newark? Texas? Chicago? Let's go!!!
