RISE Youth Basketball Academy

This week, the leaderboard had one message: nobody was giving away wins. 🏀🔥

Dimitrios and Louis D came out on top with 6 wins; Dosh, Leo, Lee and Frank close behind with 5 wins.

But the numbers only tell half the story. The games were tight, the matchups were balanced, and wins had to be earned possession by possession. One hot stretch could completely change someone’s afternoon.

Just 3 more Saturdays before the end of Season 2. Three chances to make a run. Three chances to shake up the leaderboard. 👀

Louis D really said, “I’m not done yet.” 😤🏀

Not even a minute into Saturday’s Runs, Louis rolled his ankle and had to sit out. For a minute, it looked like his day might be over.

Then he got back up. And somehow finished the day with 9 wins, the most of anyone on the court. That pushes him straight to the top of the Season 2 leaderboard with 23 wins. Tough way to earn the throne. 👑

First RISE Run, straight to the top. 👀🔥 Newcomer John C wasted no time introducing himself to the community, finishing his first Saturday with 6 wins and the #1 spot for the week. That’s one way to make an entrance!

Right behind him was Kunga with 5 wins. After joining RISE Runs just three weeks ago, Kunga’s now sitting #1 overall for Season 2 with 15 wins.

But nobody’s safe at the top. Louis is just one win behind, Jeffery is next, and David, Branko and Richard are all within striking distance. The games have been so evenly matched that a couple of wins can change everything.

Big welcome as well to Pete, Leo, Dimitrios, Brian G, Shelton and Harley. More new faces joining the Runs and making the competition even deeper.

See you again Saturday!

Another Saturday. Another shake-up at the top. 🏀🔥

Kai came ready this week, taking the top spot and making his move up the leaderboard. Kunga continues to prove consistency matters, staying right in the mix week after week. And we’ve got some new names making noise! Richard O and Chris T have officially cracked the top of the leaderboard. 👀

But the standings only tell part of the story. The games were incredibly evenly matched this week. Close scores, hard-fought possessions, and plenty of games that could’ve gone either way. No easy wins. No easy matchups. But all in good fun.

See you next Saturday!
