Indiana Elite One Green — featuring Dontray and Rontray Chavis (Princeton), Brandon Dunaway (Corydon), Desmond Marks (Bloomington South) and Robert Pittman (Washington) — captured the 16 and under crown this past weekend at the adidas May Classic in Bloomington.

Green finished 2-0 in pool play, then ran through the the gold tournament bracket, beating Spiece Select in the semifinal round and 43 Hoops BC in the championship game.

Team Southern Indiana 2013 trailed by as many as 10-points early in the second half but rallied to edge the Louisville Panthers 60-51 this afternoon to win the eighth-grade division of the Backboard Breaker tournament at Hoops in Louisville, Ky.

Silver Creek’s Aidan McEwen scored 16 points to lead TSI in the title game. Kyle Callahan (Madison) and Garrett Vick (Borden) each chipped in 11, and Justin Yates (Corydon) added nine.

The TSI 2013 roster also includes: Cameron Jacobs (Scribner/New Albany), Billy Kirchgessner (Borden), Calvin McEwen (Silver Creek), Taylor Rhoten (Shawe Memorial), Tyler Ross (Corydon) and Kortrell White (Parkview/Jeffersonville).

Team Southern Indiana 2015 fell to the Hoosier Hornets 56-41, and finished as the sixth-grade runner-up in this weekend’s Indiana Open held at the Bloomington Sportsplex.

TSI 2015, which finished 2-0 in pool play, defeated Bloomington Blaze 47-17 to advance to the championship.

Chris Beam had a memorable basketball experience at Borden, but the 6-foot-1 senior guard isn’t ready to end his playing career.

“It would mean a lot to play at the college level,” Beam said. “It’s too early to quit playing — I’m too young. I’m going to try and play wherever I can.”

Beam is considering two NCAA Division III schools — Spalding in Louisville, Ky., and Mt. St. Joesph, located just outside of Cincinnati, Oh. Olney Central, an Illinois junior college, is also interested, and Beam recently visited the school’s campus.

“Olney hasn’t offered yet; but I think if they were to, that’s where I’d go,” he said. “I’d go there for two years and then try to get to a bigger college.”

Beam plans to major is education.

“I’d like to be a high school teacher and coach,” he added.

Bloomington South’s Erik Fromm has no shortage of Division I college interest, to say the least. We wrote about Fromm in late February — before Bloomington South’s state championship run — and since then, his list of college suitors has greatly expanded.

The 6-foot-8 center has seven scholarship offers on the table — Evansville, IPFW, Miami (Oh.), Ohio, Rice, William and Mary and Wright State, with more likely to come.

“I’m hoping that by July I’m able to develop a couple more scholarship offers,” Fromm told Hoosier Hills Hoops two months ago. “I want to contribute and not get into a deal where I’m in over my head; I want to go somewhere that’s the best fit for me and the school.”

Providence’s A.J. Schmidt poured in 29 points and Scottsburg’s Max Clemons added 12 as Team Southern Indiana 2012 edged Shining Star Sports 63-61 in overtime to win the 15 and under title today at Eddie Ford‘s Grassroots Shootout in Louisville, Ky.

“Our guys came together when it mattered most,” coach Burton Chambers said. “We have a solid group of players representing Southern Indiana, and (the championship) was a pleasing start. Don’t be fooled by today’s result, however; we still have much work to do this spring and summer.”

TSI defeated Lexington, Ky.-based Charlotte Court in the semifinal round en route to the championship.

The 2012 roster includes: Max Clemons (Scottsburg), Logan Hamilton (Southwestern), Sean Hoevener (Madison), Markus Jenkins (Southwestern), Seth Pennington (Madison), Hunter Pyke (Henryville), A.J. Schmidt (Providence), Blake Schmidt (Providence) Clayton Sullivan (West Washington), Jacob Wethington (Providence) and Jordan Yarbrough (Madison). Keegan Kincaid, of Switzerland County, is currently out with an arm injury.
