We Had A Terrific Weekend!

If you weren’t in the gym, you truly missed something special. The 2026 Maryland AAU Boys Basketball Championships brought the heat April 25–26, as 28 teams from across the region battled it out in an unforgettable showcase of talent, heart, and determination.

These young athletes didn’t just come to play—they came to compete. The stakes were high, the intensity was real, and every game delivered moments that players, coaches, and families will be talking about for a long time. Congratulations to our winning teams, dedicated coaches, and every single participant who made this tournament a tremendous success!
