AEF Middle School Basketball Results
Academy Olympians and Lincoln Lions Claim Titles
Alameda, CA (March 1, 2013) – The Academy of Alameda Olympians Boys A team showed their dominance in a 59 – 46 win over the Wood Beavers at the Alameda Education Foundation’s Middle School basketball boys championships on Feb. 26th. With size, speed and a strong shooting arsenal, they had no trouble defending their #1 position over a worthy opponent.
In the B division, held just earlier that day, Lincoln surprised the Academy with a great defense and a strong finish to win by 3 points, 25 – 22.
In the Girls A division on Wednesday, Feb. 27th, undefeated Lincoln played solid defense and passed incredibly well offensively to dominant the Beavers in a 53 – 20 win. The Beavers have a couple outstanding 3-point shooting guards, but it was not enough to keep them in the game that day.
The Lincolns Girls B team also entered the game undefeated but could not build that much of a lead against a determined Academy of Alameda team. Lincoln was luckier in the shooting contest, however, and held onto their #1 spot with a 14 – 2 win.
Middle School Sports is funded and managed by the Alameda Education Foundation. AEF’s Middle School Sports program also includes coed volleyball in the fall and track & field in the spring.
