3 really is the Charm! First it was the Tampa AAU Super Regional, then the Gold Coast AAU (Miami/Ft.Laud) Super Regional and now the Georgia Coastal AAU Super Regional in Jacksonville for a clean sweep! 7th Grade Brevard Elite Basketball has won the 2011 AAU Georgia Coastal “Coast 2 Coast” Super Regional Div 1 Championship.

You can’t say enough about a first year league which came together with an idea that Brevard County could produce top teams in Florida and contenders at the national level. A belief system that asks for everything , is laced with hard work and then venture into unfamiliar major markets, to compete heads up with big, long-standing basketball programs and takes from them their Super Regional Championships, their bid opportunities for Nationals, and leaving behind an impression that Brevard Elite expects to win.

Like each weekend before, great teams from South Carolina, Georgia, and North Florida rolled into Jacksonville for the final Georgia/Florida Super Regional Championship and the last opportunity to earn a bid right before the National Championships in Memphis, Tennessee two weeks from now. Yet at 4pm on Sunday, only 2 teams were left standing for the 7th Div 1 Championship. At the end…it was Brevard Elite Basketball who was victorious 69-64.

Additionally, 3rd Grade Brevard Elite Team who competed up in the 4th Grade Division 1 Pool was almost just as impressive. Losing to the Tournament Champions from Baton Rouge, Louisiana and in the Semi-Finals by 1, just missing the Championship Game. The heart and determination by this team playing up in a older Division 1 group and having won games leading the Semi-Finals was incredible, but also truly moving was; they were emotional, upset, teary eyed, thinking/believing they should have won! That is heart. To both teams..Congratulations and Go Elite!
