In a battle of energy and execution, BTA Elite jumped out early and weathered a furious comeback from the Old Heads to secure a 76–68 victory on Sunday afternoon at Court 2. Behind a fast start and key performances from a deep rotation, BTA held firm as the Old Heads mounted a second-half surge led by a sensational shooting display from Eli Boogie.

BTA Elite: Teamwork and Tempo

BTA Elite controlled the tempo from the opening tip, putting up a dominant 46-point first half behind aggressive defense and balanced scoring. The tone was set by Justin Hanibal, who poured in a game-high 20 points on 8 field goals, mixing slick cuts with confident midrange jumpers. Hanibal also pulled down 8 rebounds and dished out 3 assists in a true do-it-all performance.

The supporting cast delivered in waves. Joseph Berg provided timely offense, drilling 4 three-pointers on his way to 16 points. Gregory Reese added 12 points with a pair of long-distance bombs, while Caden Brown filled the stat sheet with 8 points, 2 rebounds, 2 free throws, and a steal.

Defensively, BTA played connected basketball, racking up 3 blocks—two from Jethro Chapman III—and moving the ball well with 9 assists and 25 rebounds as a team. Justin Hanibal and Paul Dalzell (4 rebounds, 9 points) both dominated the glass and helped neutralize second-chance opportunities.

Old Heads: Boogie Leads the Charge

Though down 22 at halftime, the Old Heads nearly flipped the script in the second with a 44-point explosion, led by an unforgettable performance from Eli Boogie. The guard was electric, scoring 35 points with six three-pointers, slicing through defenders with ease and knocking down shots from all angles. His hot hand brought the Old Heads back into striking distance and had the crowd on its feet.

Tyreek Roberts added 11 points, and Josue Torres chipped in 9—all from beyond the arc—while Cameron Palmer quietly played an excellent all-around game, scoring 4 points and hauling in 7 rebounds to go with 2 assists and a steal.

Johnathon Bolding came off the bench and gave the Old Heads a spark with 9 points and 2 steals, including several hustle plays that helped tighten the game late.

Final Thoughts

The Old Heads’ second-half surge was admirable, but BTA Elite’s early dominance and depth were too much to overcome. With multiple scoring threats and unselfish ball movement, BTA moves forward with momentum, while the Old Heads walk away knowing that with Boogie at the helm, they’re never out of it.

Final Score: BTA Elite 76, Old Heads 68
Halftime: BTA Elite 46, Old Heads 24
