Oregon Elite and the new 28.5 Adidas Elite League
Good news for Oregon Elite as our program has been chosen to be among the inital club teams to be accepted into the new 28.5 fall league. Teams in the league, in addition to Oregon Elite, are Arizona Elite, BC Denver, Fresno Lady Heat, Natalie Williams Basketball (Utah), NW Blazers (Washington), San Antonio's Finest, San Diego SOL, Team Lex (Texas), Texas Elite, Texas Lonestar, and Vegas Lady Heat. Games will begin on October 3-4 in Phoenix with additional tournaments in later Oct., Nov., and Dec. Oregon Elite will field two 17 U teams and a 15 U team. There is a possiblity that OE could do a 13 U team also-will know more on that soon. Notices have been sent out to select OE members and there will be room for about 10 new players at the 17 U level and 7 players at the 15 U level and, potentially, a entirely new team at the 13 U level. If you would like to be considered for a spot on the roster, please contact Coach Lavender at lavoebc@gmail.com as soon as possible as spots are getting taken quickly. This new league will NOT interfere with the high school winter season which is scheduled to begin in late December, 2020.

The November signing period will be upon us soon and OEBC expects to have many of their top players sign with D-1, D-2, D-3, and NAIA schools. OEBC will up date the site when those verbals start coming out!
Final Results
To say this was one of the best records by OEBC during its short history would be an understatement. The over-all record in 2014 was 106-49 while last year's was 100-54. Each team's breakdown looks like this: (2013 record)
Black 12-8 (14-7)
Navy 33-6 (32-6)
Orange 19-11 (18-14)
Red 24-10 (17-14)
White 18-14 (19-13)
The Navy team won the Seattle MSNM Tournament and the Nashville Music City Maddness Tournament. The Black team won the Puget Sound Classic and our own OEBC Invitational. Our Red and Orange team placed in almost every tournament while our White team, hindered by injuries, played some of the best ball of the summer. It was a great summer of basketball and also fun off the court. OEBC losses some great seniors but the heart of our program returns again for the 2015 season.

Yakima Results
Our Black team had another great weekend on the road as they finished the Best in the West Tournament 2-2 in Yakima over Mother's Day weekend. Our team beat the eventual champion, Spokane Smoothies, Saturday afternoon in one of their best games of the season. However, they fell in overtime to 5th Quarter Saturday evening, knocking them out of the championship round. They recovered Sunday morning and soundly defeated Seattle YEA. The team was gracious Sunday mornig as they presented flowers and balloons to all the mom's in attendance.
Puget Sound Classic Champions
Congratulations to the Black team as they swept through the competition May 3-4 in Renton, Washington. It was a total team effort as they defeated the Seattle Pride, Puget Sound Flight, Newport, and Hoopaholics to win their first tournament of the season. The improvement from the Arizona tournament to this tournament was impressive. The 8th graders now travel to Yakima this coming weekend to play in the prestigious Best in the West Tournament. YGLI!!
Arizona Elite Tournament results
It was a great weekend in sunny Phoenix, Arizona April 24-27 as the OEBC program started the club season with an outstanding performance. With a combined record of 14-7, all 5 teams performed extremley well. Highlighting the weekend were all 4 of the high school teams. The Navy, Orange, and Red teams recorded 3 and 1 records as the Red won the consolation bracket, while the Orange lost to the eventual 17 U bracket winner in overtime, and likewise the Navy ended up 3-1 as they lost by 1 to the eventual 17 U Super bracket champion. The White team (4-1) lost in the championship game of the 17 U bracket. Our Black team was 1-3 but improved dramatically during the tournament.
Change of Summer Schedule
All four teams will be at Charlotte, N.C. for the ASGR Event at the Carolina Courts July 27-30. This tournament is a three day tournament and replaces the Austin Tournament which was only a two day tournament. The teams will travel from Nashville on July 26 and back to Portland in the afternoon of July 30. The side bar on the front page is the correct schedule.

Final Thoughts on 2013
This was perhaps one of the most successful seasons for OEBC since its inception in 2007. There is a good chance that up to 10 players will sgn with either a division 1 or a division 2 school this fall. In addition 3 or 4 more may sign at the D-3 or NAIA level. This was a talented group of seniors. However, the cupboard is not bare!!! We have an outstanding group of juniors and sophomores returning which will make 2014 even more competitive. Coach Lav will be out all winter watching players throughout the Northwest for players to compete for OEBC. If you are an underclass player and feel you have what it takes to play for OEBC, please contact Coach Lav at Lavoebc@gmail.com and he will contact you about a tryout or a workout.
Second Half Summary
We landed back into Portland July 30 at midnight after a great July season. I cannot thank the teams, the staff, and especially, the parents* that accompanied the team enough for all the positive help they gave. It was a tremendous team effort. All our teams were very successful and I can honestly say that the vast majority of the players improved drastically over the entire club season which began in April and ended July 30.
*Special thanks to David McKinney for all his work in taking stats fro the Navy and Orange teams!!

Nashville
We had an uneventful journey to beautiful Nashville on Saturday. A few bumps on the way into Nashville but it was nice to see the active thunder and lightning, stuff we don't see in Western Oregon. All four teams practiced for 2 hours at A Game on Sunday morning, it was great to stretch their legs and get them back into the basketball routine. After practice we headed downtown to Nashville to enjoy the sites and, especially, the sounds of Music City. The players had a great time shopping and just getting a feel for all that makes Nashville so unique. I actually think the parents along on the trip enjoyed the time as much or more than the players. It is great to have such positive support on the road. Things begin in earnest today as all four teams open play in the Music City Madness. Will keep the site up dated as we proceed through the second half of the viewing season. YGLI!!!!!
