CARTERSVILLE, Ga. – Only four of the league’s 40 teams got through the first Elite Youth Basketball League session unbeaten as play wrapped up Sunday afternoon in the Lakepoint Sporting Community Champions Center.
The Texas Titans, Alabama Fusion, Indy Heat and The Family (based in Michigan) each went 4-0 and 12 others lost just once.
The second session will be played May 10-12 in Indianapolis with the third two weekends later in Dallas.
EYBL competition concludes with the Peach Jam, July 10-14 in North Augusta, SC.
There were a multitude of candidates and I didn’t approach seeing every team over the weekend.
So, take that as the caveat.
But here are players that most impressed me over the weekend:

Cade Cunningham (6-foot-6/Texas Titans)
