Long recognized as one of the nation's top Spring events for Unsigned Seniors, this year was no different as Twenty-Eight (28) College Coaches were in the gym to evaluate the talent on hand. The roster consisted of highly accomplished players, all of whom were named All-Region, All-Conference, All-County and/or All-State this past High School season.
The event began with a brief introduction by SEBA Founder and Director Billy LoPresti. Following the introduction, Georgia Basketball legend Courtney Brooks delivered a powerful speech which captivated all in attendance. Coach Brooks passionately spoke on the importance of pursuing dreams, gratitude, and faith. Fresh off the inspiration, the players moved into competitive 5-on-5 play. Each team competed in pool play games which then led to a single elimination Tournament where an event champion was crowned.
