FIRST48
SEVEN YEARS AGO MEMPHIS BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION INTRODUCED FIRST48. IT WAS THE MOST EPIC EVENT IN TENNESSEE YOUTH BASKETBALL HISTORY! ALL THE WHOS WHOS PARTICIPATED; FROM PLAYERS, TO COACHES, TO SPECTATORS. THERE WERE HIGHLIGHT FILMS AND COVERAGE FROM ALL OF THE LOCAL MEDIA OUTLETS. AND LET'S NOT FORGET HOW DOPE THE UNIFORMS WERE.
THIS FALL FIRST48 IS BACK. AND BETTER! AND COACH VON HAS OUTDONE HIMSELF WITH THE GEAR, AGAIN!
A BIT OF CLARITY ON THE NAME "FIRST48"; SURELY EVERYONE KNOWS OF THE REALITY TV SHOW BY THE SAME NAME WHERE THE CITY OF MEMPHIS WAS HIGHLIGHTED FOR ITS HIGH MURDER RATE.
MEMPHIS IS ALSO KNOWN FOR BASKETBALL. SO MBA DECIDED TO TAKE THE NEGATIVE AND PUT A POSITIVE SPIN ON IT. HENCE THE FIRST48 FALL LEAGUE.
THERE WILL BE 6 DIVISIONS (4TH GRADE & UNDER,5TH&6TH GRADE, 7TH GRADE, 8TH &9TH GRADE, AND HIGH SCHOOL). WE ARE ANTICIPATING 8 TEAMS IN EACH DIVISION WITH 9 PLAYERS PER TEAM.
TEAMS WILL BE COACHED BY HIGH SCHOOL, MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND AAU COACHES.
THE LEAGUE WILL BEGIN WITH A JAMBOREE ON AUG. 13TH.
