Final
2018 BSC Power Rankings
1
Strong Island Stunnaz:
For so long the tourney
has been dominated by the likes of DC, Philly,
Chicago, TO, & BK. Ladies & gentlemen, we'd like
to introduce the new kings of NY - The Strong
Island Stunnaz. The addition of Jabar played a
major factor in their success, but it was
ultimately their outstanding team play that
propelled them to an undefeated championship
season. Abel’s point guard abilities have
gradually improved over the years, which allowed
for Jabar to get buckets at his more natural
off-the-ball position. Add on Veteran Leadership
by Bensen Oomman, clutch shooting by Benson
Alexander and Shane’s solid inside presence,
this team just had all the right ingredients to
win the chip this year. Congrats fellas, way to
rep the Empire State the right way!
2
Baltimore Bullets:
The Bullets were a few
points away from a two-peat. Behind the strong
play of their all-star guards, Teddy and
Jonathan, this squad pushed through the regular
season and eventually to the finals. After an
exciting double overtime loss to the eventual
champs in the regular season, many had a feeling
that it would be a finals rematch between these
two teams. They still have the championship DNA
and a Baltimore toughness that can’t be
replicated. Look for this team to come back with
a vengeance next year.
3
Newark:
Led by their first team
all star, Aby & second team all star, Jacinth,
this tough, gritty young team made the semis 2
years in a row. They blew out a veteran Philly
team in the first round of the playoffs before
running into a finals bound Baltimore team. The
Brotherhood continues to turn heads and are next
up to really win it all.
4
DCZ Finest:
Championship pedigree &
will to win were the two elements to their
season. With a team of only 5 players and
sometimes running games with 4, the most
dominant team in BSC history managed to get to
the second round of the playoffs & kept it close
with the Stunnaz. Jarvis Thomas is one of the
highest-IQ players the BSC has ever seen. He did
a lot of his damage from the post this year and
got to the line frequently earning him first
team honors with 50+points. Kareem is only a
12th grader with elite finishing ability, so his
future in this tourney is scary. Richard stepped
up with his all-around contributions.
5/5
Philly Ballazz:
You hear it every year – “it’s
our last year” - there’s something to be
said about their brand of basketball and proving
naysayers wrong with excellence in team
chemistry and overall IQ of the game. These are
the factors that helped them press towards a
winning season & a first round playoff
appearance. Although they lost to a tough young
NJ team, they are still in the discussion for
teams that can do damage. Shout out to Ricky,
Vinil, and Jithin with their solid play.
6
Gburg Slashers: This was
their best year as a team. They lost their two
games the first day; this motivated them to win
the remainder of games the second day. The team
chemistry is really coming together and is
evident in their gameplay. Led by their two 2nd
team all-stars, Calvin and Swiss army knife,
Rucky, great shooting from Preston and Naveen,
and the growth in Joshua Thomas, this team is a
few pieces away from making some serious noise.
Amazing to see how the young talent in this
tourney is growing and now even competing in
games as they did in the playoffs vs DC. It was
an exciting matchup that came down to the wire.
Keep grinding, Slashers!
77
Yonkers Hustle:
After a three year
absence, the Yonkers Hustle returned the to the
BSC and earned a playoff appearance. Led by a
strong performance from team captain, Justin
George, and important contributions from James
George & Terrill George, Yonkers was in winning
position in 3 out of the 4 regular season games
it played. The talent level is there, time to
take the next step in 2019!
8
Chicago UntouchaBULLS:
Strong showing by this
young team supported by the veteran leadership
of Josue and seemingly ageless Joey. The play of
their high schoolers, Danny & Jerome, really
impressed many. Even though they lost, they kept
a 1vs8 seed game close and thrilling till the
champs took over. With a couple more years of
experience and continued growth, this team has
the potential to be dangerous in the future.
9
Philadelphia Flight:
Great play by Boaz, Binu
and solid addition of Allen. They were missing
their young up and coming stars but definitely
fought in every game they played. They’ll be
sure to bring the fight back in flight in 2019.
2019 BSC First Look:
As the BSC moves to our 17th year, we are in our
most competitive ERA ever. In the last 5 years,
there have been 5 different BSC champions. That
is amazing!! Look forward to seeing you there
and hopefully the return of Brooklyn, Texas and
Toronto!!
