San Diego, CA – Open Gym Premier opened up 2018 by hosting its 1st Annual San Diego tournament that featured 70 teams spread across five grade divisions. The event allowed us an early opportunity to watch some of the top talent in the area before the Elite Basketball Circuit San Diego camp, April 14-15.

The 8th Grade Gold Division featured five teams battling before the release of the January G365 rankings. Both SDA (4-0) and Open Gym Premier HQ Black (3-1) were tested in pool play, but made it through to square off in the championship game.
