2016 Season
BMM has a roster loaded with talent and size. With their top players each standing 6'7 as true 8th graders they will look to create problems from teams in the bracket with smaller front lines. In March, Coach Nwelue's sqaud won the prestigious Texas Youth Basketball League which hosts many of the top teams in the state. They played up in the Great American Shoot Out and placed runner-up in the championship bracket. They have fought against tough teams such as the Texas Titans, West Coast All Starts and D1 Premier.

He has the ability to rebound and lead the fastbreak because with his quickness and handle. He's unselfish but can also can knock down open shots.

He led his middle school team in EVERY statistical category. Brandon Lawrence is a 6'1 combo guard. He is one of the top perimeter defenders in the state of Texas and he can score from all 3 levels a variety of ways. In just his first season of highly competitive basketball he's made a name for himself as one of the top 2020 guards in Dallas. He led his middle school team to back to back undefeated seasons.
