The Peach Jam 16U title on Nike's EYBL circuit is headed to the City of Brotherly Love.
On Sunday morning, in a battle of multiple Syracuse basketball recruits, the Philadelphia-based Team Final knocked off the Winston-Salem, N.C.-based Team CP3 by a final score of 74-65 to win the Peach Jam crown in the 16U division.
Three 2028 players on the Team Final roster hold a scholarship offer from the Orange staff under first-year head coach Gerry McNamara. They are 2028 four-star combo guard Rowan Phillips, 2028 five-star center Logan Chwastyk and 2028 four-star combo guard Carter Smith.
For Team CP3, 2028 five-star wing Mason Collins also has picked up a scholarship offer from the 'Cuse coaching staff, which was on hand throughout the weekend amid a live period on the various shoe-sponsored AAU circuits. The Peach Jam has been taking place in North Augusta, S.C.
