🚨 GOD’S PLAN 🚨
As our 2026 AAU season comes to a close, we first give all honor and glory to GOD for blessing us with another highly successful season!

This year, God blessed us with 12 teams and the opportunity to continue our partnership with Adidas, allowing us to compete on the national, regional, and local levels.

We understand that everyone is not for us, and we are not for everyone. However, we remain fully committed to the young men and families who believe in our mission, embrace our culture, and support our core values.

Our 5 Pillars

1️⃣ God
2️⃣ Family
3️⃣ Academics
4️⃣ Basketball
5️⃣ Community

While we are grateful for the many championships we’ve won across the country, our greatest victories happen beyond the scoreboard. Our highest priorities will always be academics, family, faith, and developing young men into respectful, successful, and productive citizens who are prepared for college, careers, and life.

2026 By the Numbers:

✅ 12 Teams
✅ 114 Total Players
✅ 79 of 81 eligible players successfully earned spots on their middle school or high school basketball teams (98%)
✅ 2,000+ Combined Community Service Hours
✅ 3.36 Overall Team GPA
✅ 23 Players with a 4.0 GPA or Higher
✅ 34 Players with a 3.5 GPA or Higher
✅ 41 Players with a 3.0 GPA or Higher

This season also marked a historic milestone as we celebrated our first graduating senior class (Class of 2026). We are proud to announce that:

🏀 15 student-athletes have earned basketball scholarships.
🇺🇸 2 graduates have chosen to serve our country by joining the military.
🎓 2 graduates will continue their education by attending college.

These accomplishments reflect what our organization is truly about—building futures, creating opportunities, and changing lives through faith, education, basketball, and service.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to our Board of Directors, coaches, players, parents, sponsors, volunteers, and supporters for your unwavering dedication, sacrifice, and belief in our mission. None of this would be possible without you.

🙏 To God be the Glory for all that He has done!

Big S/O to Coach Emmerson Phillips and Boston Warriors Basketball for my custom gear! We competed against Coach Phillips and the 2030 Boston Warriors at AAU Worlds Championships, they have a great team and are very well coached. Despite the NorthAlabama_LAKERS_Basketball winning the game, both teams competed with good sportsmanship and ultimate respect for one another. Afterwards, Coach Phillips and I linked up, we have some things planned in the future for our programs and looking forward to working together soon! He said he was going to send me some gear and he is definitely a man of his word - “I don’t think the NorthAlabama_LAKERS_Basketball players will allow me to wear this around them” lol.

Our 2031 Team competed in the MSYS Mid State Hoop in the City Tournament in Nashville, TN

Happy Birthday Coach Roderick smith

Happy Birthday Coach Tonioooooo

🏆CHAMPIONS🏆 Congratulations to our 2029 (9th Grade Team) for winning the SYBL July Heat Tournament! Great Job by Coach Aleshia M Greene for leading the guys to victory!
