WPA Bruins Spring Tip-Off Classic 2018

 
Pittsburgh, PA- WPA Bruins housed the Spring Tip-Off 2018 this past weekend in the greater Pittsburgh area. The 190 plus team’s event had 9 divisions, from the 4 ^th grade to the 11 ^th grade. An additional Elite 11 ^th grade division with many Northeast / Midwest heavy hitters for sure separated this event form others. Because of the size of the event and the multiple facilities NYGHoops Report stationed itself mainly at North Allegheny HS watching games over three days. When it was all said and done, Team Takeover would be crowned the WPA Bruins Spring Tip-Off champs for the Elite division (2018) ; Defeating a talented All Ohio (Black) team 73-49.
