Brehm Bears Help Win 17-U Championship!

The Illinois Titans (The Brehm Bears are a large part of the Illinois Titans travel team circuit) won the 17-U championship last night. Both Brehm Bears and Illinois Titans are coached by Brehm School’s Aaron Lee.

And, Brehm’s own Bamba "James" Siakam won MVP! (seen in photo above)

From ChicagoHoops.com today:

"Bamba "James" Siakam (Brehm Prep) was named MVP as the Illinois Titans defeated Mike McCall (Chicago Foreman), and the Illinois Heat 57-42 to win the 17-U championship of the 2009 ChicagoHoops.com Spring Travel Team Tip-Off Classic on Sunday night.

The Titans road to the title included a thrilling 52-51 win over the Mac Irvin Fire in a game that wasn't decided until the final seconds, a 69-47 win over the Illinois Kings, and an 82-69 win over Illinois Old School ahead of winning the championship game against the Illinois Heat.

Siakam, a 6'6" power forward, was at his best dominating the glass inside. 5'10" guard Daniel Daudu and 6'2" Bruce Baron were also both terrific throughout the weekend for the Titans, who opened the event with a loss to 6'8" Robert Covington (Proviso West) and 6'2" Isiah Jones (Mounds Meridien), and the Illinois Bobcats ahead of rolling the rest of the way."
