T3TV Battle Royale Brings All The Smoke On Memorial Weekend;
AAU Tournament Features Top Ranked Teams in Country; NFL Legend Supports CP3 Team
By Deon Cash
Ladies and gentlemen I think we have a new heavyweight championship contender when it comes to AAU Programs who put on hoop events nationally.
T3TV has taken the AAU world by storm, and that was very evident this last weekend as people piled in Courts 4 Sports and Sports Plus facilities in the Cincinnati area (Mason) to watch the best of the best in youth hoops compete over the Memorial Day weekend.
And when we say the best of the best, we mean it.
National Top 5 ranked Organizations such as Bates Fundamentals, Team Teague, SuperFriends, Edmond Sumner Elite, CP3 Elite, Illinois Flight, Indy Premiere, and BNU all invaded the Southwest Ohio event.
Bear in mind that CP3 is ran by NBA Pro Chris Paul and his organization, while Team Teague is ran by the famous Teague family that plays in the NBA along with their father.
Bates Fundamentals is ran by the superstar HS player Emoni Bates family and friends.
With over 20 divisions in the Battle Royale, each team was split up into groups of 4 for pool play. After Day 2, you move to the Gold, Silver, or Bronze division to compete for a championship depending on how u finished in pool play.
However, the event went crazy from Day 1 as the level of play, the amount of elite programs involved, and the highlights and footage on the first night?
Its like nothing you have seen this AAU Season for sure.
You have a man-child in 8th grade bodying players as if he’s in college. You have another kid in 6th grade shooting a incredible between-the legs layups with 3 guys guarding him. 3rd and 4th graders hitting 3’s from NBA range.
Even cheerleaders was at the event. Yes. Cheerleaders were at the event.
And yes, it was that serious.
Buzzer beaters, clutch shots, incredible plays, hyped up, awesome crowds, coaches actin a fool (not really, but somewhat) and intensity from all angles.
There was also star power from the media side as T3TV, In The Gym Media, Overtime, Slam, MSHTV, Ball Is Life, Buckeye Prep, Top 25 Scouts, Miami Valley Hoop Vault, Top Recruitzz, Coast2Coast, Fox Sports, D-Rich TV and SELive365 piled up to bring some incredible footage for the event.
And did we mention that Adam “Pac Man" Jones, the NFL Legend, attended the event along with other stars?
“I came to check out my family who play with the CP3 Elite squad," Pac Man stated as he rolled in with his wife, son, and family to enjoy the intensity of the game and atmosphere.
“This event was lit, let's get it!” Jones excitedly said before he jumped in the pictures with CP3 Elite, who won the 6th grade championship over the Illinois Flight in a dogfight at the end.
Terry Holt II, who is the CEO of T3TV, was very happy with the turnout. “We felt really proud to have a event of this magnitude, and it go well for us. We love the support and we hope that we can continue to build and go to other cities to do T3TV Events. It was a total team effort.”
Here are the Champions from Each Division:

One thing is certain. T3TV has carved out its own niche, and true to form, Holt and his dream is coming true right before your eyes.
Many coaches, fans, and players agreed at the event that this was easily the best Tournament of the AAU season.
Add the fact that there were no fights, incidents, or any negative vibes that could derail a great event like this? Now you possibly got something special.
Could we have a new Heavyweight Champion in AAU Hoops? Surely looking like it.
