Bella Vista's Miles Sadler Makes History by Sweeping EYBL in One-Seed Dominance!
Miles Sadler proved himself as one of the best PGs in the country as Bella Vista beat AZ Compass Prep in the Nike EYBL Scholastic Championship.
When No. 1 AZ Compass Prep (Chandler, AZ) took a 17-4 lead over No. 12 CIA-Bella Vista (Phoenix) in the Nike EYBL Scholastic Championship, there was still plenty of time to play.
But things looked bleak for the Bears against the top-ranked team, not only in the elite youth league but in the country. It didn't take until the fourth quarter for Bella Vista to catch up. It didn't even take until the half.
Behind a surge from point guard Miles Sadler, the Bears pulled the deficit to only two points by the end of the first quarter. With the control of Sadler, the size of Amadou Seini, and a pair of missed dunks from AZ Compass Prep, CIA-Bella Vista won 69-65. “I think this is just the most resilient group in the country," head coach Derek Wright Jr.
said in an interview on the FS1 broadcast after the game. "(We're) pouring confidence into the everyday… They just believe, believe, believe, believe. " Sadler had 24 points, six assists and five rebounds.
