WEEK OF 07.21.2025
What a weekend in Las Vegas for the Grassroots 365 Nationals! Savage Basketball Academy showed up, showed out, and grew as a family on and off the court:
🔥 11U Boys finished the weekend 3-2, falling in the first round of the playoffs. Their chemistry, energy, and support for one another continues to amaze us. This team is growing into something special.
⚔️ 13U Bronze went 0-4, but the growth was undeniable. This group is just getting started. With more reps together, they’ll be a force. Proud of how they kept fighting.
💪 13U Silver closed the weekend 2-3, bouncing back after a tough first day. They played against some of the best—including two championship teams—and finished strong as a unit—one of our flagship groups for a reason.
💯 Most importantly, our players built bonds. From poolside laughs to locker room grit, this trip was about more than just basketball—it was about culture, connection, and becoming better together
PLAYERS OF THE WEEKEND
This weekend, we’re recognizing something bigger than individual stats—we’re recognizing every Savage player who suited up and gave it their all in Vegas.
Our 11U boys continue to grow with every game. For many of them, this was their first time playing out of state—and they showed out like veterans. This is just the beginning.
Our 13U teams reminded us that time is ticking. We’ve got one year before these boys head into high school. And this weekend was a reminder that the work we put in now sets the tone for what’s next.
Proud of every single player who wore that Savage jersey this weekend. Your energy, effort, and unity didn’t go unnoticed. Let’s keep building.
