Congratulations again to the 2027 OFW Galaxy team and Coach Tabios Darden on bringing home the YBOA Alabama State Championship — and making it three championships this travel ball season. That’s not luck… that’s culture, commitment, and a group that knows how to compete.

Best wishes to the entire OFW Galaxy family as these young athletes head into their high school basketball journey. The travel season may be wrapping up, but the next chapter is just getting started. Keep working, keep growing, and keep stacking wins — on and off the court.

The future looks bright for this group. 🚀🏀

What a way to close out the season. Day one of the State Championship is in the books, and every team in our club showed exactly how much growth has happened from the first tournament to now.

This group of athletes, coaches, and families has put in the work all season long, and it showed today in pool play. Across all 7 teams, the effort, toughness, teamwork, and confidence were on display from start to finish.

A huge day for our 5th grade girls, who continued their outstanding season by going 2-0 in pool play. After already bringing home 4 tournament championships this season, they continue to set the tone with their energy, ex*****on, and competitive spirit.

Our 7th grade boys have truly grown throughout this season. They started the year facing some challenges, but today they showed just how much they’ve developed — winning both pool play games by 20+ points. Their hard work, resilience, and growth have been great to watch all season long.

Our 11th grade boys stayed hot as well, winning both games today after coming into the weekend with back-to-back tournament championships. They’re playing some of their best basketball at exactly the right time and carrying great momentum into bracket play.

Most importantly, every team in this club competed with heart and represented our program the right way. That’s what makes this group special.

Now it’s time for bracket play tomorrow. One more day. One more opportunity. Let’s finish strong.

Big accomplishment for this group. Proud to announce our 2027 OFW Galaxy Team is ranked Top 4 in the state!

This team earned every bit of it through hard work, discipline, and competing together all season long. The growth, toughness, and commitment these athletes showed has been special to watch.

Top 4 in the state in YBOA Power rankings — and we’re not done yet. Top 10 in the Global Grassroots rankings. 💪🔥

Congratulations to our OFW Galaxy 5th Grade Girls and Coach Tamia Nelson on winning the 2026 Coach Emmanuel Tubb Bell Classic. This is their fourth championship win of the season.

OFW Galaxy 2027 are the Champions of GOLDEN TICKET SUPER NATIONAL QUALIFIER!

The Galaxy were led by a dynamic backcourt, with Andy McQueeney pouring in 18 PPG and Adrian “AP” Peterson adding 13 PPG, setting the tone all weekend. Davis Lee chipped in 8 PPG, while all 9 players scored in every game, showing the true definition of a complete team effort.

Caleb Jennings held it down in the paint, anchoring the middle with toughness and presence. Bastian Carroll, John Colvin, Nate Reid, Maddux Phillips, and Nic Akl all stepped up with timely shots, high energy, and winning plays when it mattered most.

Total team win.

Day 1 of the YBOA Super National Qualifier is in the books. We battled against high-level competition across all squads.
We faced some close games, learned some big lessons, and tried our best to stay locked in. Growth doesn’t always show up in the win column—but it’s happening. 💪🏀

OFW GALAXY 2027 AND COACH TABIOS DARDEN TAKE HOME THE SUPER SHOOTOUT TITLE!

What a weekend for the OFW Galaxy as they dominated the Super Shootout and brought home the championship!

Leading the charge was Henry McKinnon, who set the tone all weekend long, averaging 14 points per game which included a dominant 26 point effort in the semifinals. Right behind him, Andy McQueeney added 12 points per game, showing his ability to score and impact the game at a high level.

Adrian Peterson stayed true to form as a sharpshooter, knocking down shots and averaging 9 points per game, keeping defenses on their heels all tournament long.

John Colvin controlled the pace, making sure everything ran smoothly for the Galaxy. And when it mattered most, Maddux Phillips and Nathan Reid stepped up in a big way, hitting timely threes that shifted momentum and kept opponents at bay.

The championship game was a statement. The Galaxy caught fire from deep, knocking down 11 three-pointers in a dominant 53-27 victory to seal the title.

This was a complete team effort, toughness, unselfish play, and ex*****on at a high level. Proud of this group and the way they competed all weekend!

During this past weekend’s YBOA Super Shoot Tournament, Sam Williamson had 33 points. He went 9-11 from 3 against Reaction 15U, leading the 9th Grade OFW Galaxy Boys and Coach James Roethler to 2-0 in pool play on Saturday. Check out our stories to see his buzzer be**er!
