Best of the Best Champions 2012

June 7, 2012

Each year, some of the top youth programs in the northeast converge on Springfield, MA and the Basketball Hall of Fame to battle for bragging rights as the top team in their division.  The tournament pits state champions and super-regional finalists against each other in a winner take-all format.
