The Elite Shot has officially kicked off our marketing campaign for the Crossover 4 a Breakthrough charity basketball game. We’re asking our friends to stand with us by displaying flyers in your businesses and sharing them on your social media pages.

We’ve got a stack of flyers ready to deliver, all we need is your support to help spread the word. Every share, every flyer posted, and every conversation brings us closer to making a real impact.

All proceeds from this event will be donated to charity.

To support, contact Stephen Gettis at 440-452-8723. Let’s make this bigger than basketball.

The 5th Annual Lemonade & BBQ Fundraiser is Southern Craze Beverage Company biggest event of the year, because it makes the Free to Dream Basketball Camp possible. When we started, some kids had to miss camp because their families could not afford registration. That was the hardest thing we ever faced.

Now, thanks to your support and our partnership with Jones Bones BBQ & Grub, no child is turned away. The smiles, the energy, the friendships, and the lessons on the court make it all worth it.

Join us Sunday, September 7th, from 12–3 at 228 16th St. Your support makes a difference.

The Elite Shot is teaming up with our partners to shine a light on breast cancer and the impact it has on families in our community. We asked ourselves how we could merge our love for basketball with a cause that touches so many lives, and that’s how the Crossover 4 a Breakthrough Charity Basketball Game was born.

This special afternoon is dedicated to the memory of Carla Gettis and countless others whose families have been affected by this disease. Together, we’re raising awareness, honoring lives, and helping Power 4 Pink Inc continue their mission of support and education.

Saturday, October 25th
South Recreation Center
Doors open: 3:30 PM
Tip-off: 4:00 PM
Special Guest DJ: TBA

Admission:

$2.00 per person

Special thanks to our sponsor, Dale Yost Construction Co., for supporting this tournament.

Despite the heat on Saturday, teams showed up ready to compete for their division’s championship title. The games were not only intense but exciting to watch, as each team battled hard to earn a spot in the finals. While every championship game was a close contest, only one team in each division could walk away as champions.

The teams in the Middle Division came to play. The game of the day was a exciting matchup between The Hoopers and The Elite Shot. It went into overtime, with The Hoopers knocking down a clutch three-pointer to advance to the finals against The Warriors.

In the championship game, The Hoopers played smart, fundamental team basketball and earned their first Taste of South Championship.

Special thanks to our sponsor, Dale Yost Construction, for supporting this year’s tournament.

Despite Saturday morning’s scattered showers, teams took the court ready to have fun and compete. The games were not only intense but also highly entertaining to watch. Each team battled hard for a spot in the championship game, and while every final was close, only one team could take home the title.

In the Youth Boys (8–10) division, BTOB dropped their first game but showed incredible heart, fighting their way through the losers bracket to earn a rematch against the undefeated Warriors in the championship. Both teams played with pride and left it all on the court. In the end, the Warriors came out on top, claiming the title of 2025 Taste of South Youth Champions.
