After finishing last year’s circuit as 16U Peach Jam champs and having most of the team return while moving up a level, Bradley Beal Elite’s now 17U squad opened the EYBL circuit with a strong showing at the EYBL Open West Event.

BBE finished the weekend with a 2–1 record while securing notable wins over Team Thad and the Florida Rebels, with their only loss coming in a hard-fought battle against team Pro Skills.

What set BBE apart throughout the event was their defensive intensity. The team allowed just 61.6 points per game across the three contests, a testament to their commitment on the defensive end. The entire roster showed buy-in and energy that made life difficult for opposing offenses.

Leading the way for BBE was 6’6” junior forward JaShawn Andrews, who averaged 19.3 points and 4.3 rebounds per game, showcasing his ability to score with touch on the outside and physicality on the inside.

In the backcourt, 6’2” guard Trey Pearson made his presence felt by averaging 11 points and 5 assists per game. Pearson was consistently finding open teammates and keeping the tempo in BBE’s favor.

With momentum building, the BBE 17s team now looks ahead to the second session of the EYBL season, beginning May 16th in Memphis, Tennessee. Their three-game slate in Memphis includes a highly anticipated clash against Team Why Not, one of the top programs on the circuit.
