🏀 3SSB 15U Semifinal Preview
99OVR 15U vs New Heights 15U
🕓 Tip-off: 4:20 PM
🔥 Key Matchups:
•MJ Boyd (99OVR) vs Dwyane Ruffin (New Heights)
A clash of two high-IQ floor generals. Boyd’s size and poise vs Ruffin’s quickness and creativity could dictate the tempo.
•Josiah Rose (99OVR) vs Enmanuel Valera (New Heights)
Rose is versatile and explosive—Valera will have his hands full trying to contain him inside and out.
🧠 X-Factor:
Toussaint Malukila (New Heights) – The 7-footer could be the ultimate paint deterrent. If he controls the rim and stays out of foul trouble, it changes everything.
⚡ What to Watch:
Can 99OVR maintain their dominance against New Heights’ physicality and length? Or will Ruffin and the bigs from New Heights grind their way into the title game? @NewHeightsNYC #99overall

Despite not having their new addition on the court this weekend, @RomanBasketball looked very cohesive. A couple of returning players to watch for the Cahillites is @Sjacks30 & @druffin_. Both are walking buckets.
