'09 Basketball Tournament
The game format was the same as the last five years. The whole tournament lasted for three days, from Wednesday to Friday. On the first day every team played two games each which resulted in the teams being ranked for the next day playoff games. On the last day, the three point shootout, the juniors’ final and the varsity final were held. There were many surprises along the way.
The last day of the tournament started with the closing game of the “best of three” series for junior varsity teams. JV San Diego “Deki Adi” snatched the championship from JV Houston “Anabs” by two points in the last minute. JV Coach of the year went to coach Hannibal Haile of San Diego team and JV MVP was Biniam Yohannes. Next came the long awaited, with full packed fans and spectators, varsity finals, between DC “Dream Team” “Shden” and Seattle “Znab”, and the three point shootout.

But what followed was a bucket by bucket exchange, very tight, exciting game from starting jump-off till the game over whistle. It could have gone to anyone of the two teams. Everyone was on their feet just waiting for the time to run out. Such was the surprise that the undefeated
