By: Jeff Meadows

OAKLAND,CA-Day 3 of the HIGHLY COMPETITIVE Nike EYBL Session IV was the day that teams started to see and realize what their fate just might be as the play on the court INTENSIFIED. Without further delay, let's get to the action

ATHLETE FIRST (OK) (57) BLUFF CITY LEGENDS (TN) 62

After getting of to a fast start, ATHLETES FIRST looked as if they would come away with the win, that was until BLUFF CITY LEGENDS class of 2013, 6'7 (F) Nicholas King "went to work" running of 4 straight crucial buckets that put things out of reach as BLUFF CITY LEGENDS would come away with a 5 point, 62-57 victory. Nicholas King was the STAR OF THE GAME, scoring a game high 22pts 6 rebs while teammate, class of 2013, 6'9 (P) Jonathan Williams added 10pts and 7 rebs as for ATHLETES FIRST it was class of 2013, 5'9 (PG) Stephen Clark leading the way with 17pts 3 assist and 2 rebs and the "YOUNG FELLA" class of 2015, 6'2 (CG) Alonzo Tier dropped 16pts and snatched 5 boards.

If the ALL-IOWA ATTACK had any hopes of making it to the EYBL Finals THIS. WAS A MUST WIN GAME but unfortunately for them class of 2013, 6'2 (CG) Anders Broman and the rest of his supporting cast had other plans as HOWARD PULLY would go on to ROMP the ALL-IOWA ATTACK by the score of 73-52.

Once again, this was another in the long line of MUST WINS GAMES for several teams but in this case it was a MUST WIN GAME FOR BOTH TEAMS and both teams played like it but in the end it was BALTIMORE ELITE who did just enough to come away with the victory. BALTIMORE ELITE was led by their "TWO HEADED MONSTER" Kameron Williams 20pts and 3 rebs Daquein McNiel 17pts and 3 rebs while MEANSTREETS were led class of 2014, 5'9 (PG) Tyler Ulis 15pts and class of 2013, 6'7 (F) Alex Foster tossed in 10pts.
