The Decision, from day 1, were humble, mentally and physically prepped, and more than confident that they would be taking home that beautiful 1st place trophy. After a difficult, hard to stomach loss last year, they sucked it up and proved to the nation that they are THE best there is in Ultimate Hoops.

With an 11 man squad, skilled big men, smart guards, and a true passion and love for the game, they made it happen. Looking back at the final scores one could conclude that there was only one true challenger in taking the title from them; that team being the local Phenoms. Losing by only 4 points in round 3, the Phenoms put up a big fight against the titan of teams. All other games were won by 15 or more. This being said, The Decision weren't fooling around when it came to Vegas. If any partying was done, it was after the tournament.

It has been said that the teams with the most comradery, positive words, high fives, chest bumps, and friendships always do well in whatever league, tournament, or event they participate in. The Decision were by far a close group of uplifting guys that were always encouraging each other. Check out their post-victory celebration as they sport this valuable trait:

Guard and spokesman for their team, Ryann Little, had some confident and uplifting words to say about their team and their path to the championship.

To conclude, The Decision put in hard work and effort for the past year all to prepare for one weekend in Vegas. It proved to work, they obviously deserved it, and all teams, fans, and staff applaud their victory. Can't wait to see their squad next year.
