🏀🧡 WMSSL CHAMPIONSHIP RECAP 🖤🏀

Congratulations to Clinton-Massie, champions of the 1st Annual Wilmington Middle School Summer League (WMSSL)! 🏆

A special congratulations as well to our runner-up, Waynesville. They are a talented basketball team with a bright future ahead. The future is certainly bright for both programs.

Thank you to all seven teams, coaches, players, and families who participated throughout the league. The competition was outstanding, but more importantly, it was great to see so many young athletes learning, growing, and enjoying the game.

This league would not have been possible without an incredible team effort.

A huge thank you to:
🏀 Our Varsity Staff — Elle, Tip, and Dylan
🏀 Our Lady Cane players — Kaylyn, Jayona, and Addison
🏀 Ann, Dow Tippett
🏀 The parents and volunteers who helped each night
🏀 The Wilmington College basketball players who officiated games throughout the league. Their energy, leadership, and willingness to give back to younger players helped make this event a success.
🏀 And a very special thank you to my wonderful wife, Jenn, for all of her support behind the scenes.

From scorekeeping and organizing schedules to officiating games and helping with daily operations, it truly took a village.

The 1st Annual WMSSL was a success because of all of you.

Thank you for believing in what we’re building for middle school basketball in our community.

🧡🖤 We did it! Here’s to an even bigger and better WMSSL in 2027. 🖤🧡
