Bears At A Glance
The Phoenix-based Nike EYBL Scholastic League regular-season co-champions make their first City of Palms appearance. Overall, the independent boasts multiple teams that have produced 75 college players during the past three years alone, so it isn’t a surprise that the Bears have one of the deepest groups in this year’s COP under first-year coach D.J. Wright. The headliners include 5-11 SR Miles Sadler (16.1 ppg, 4.7 apg, 3.8 rpg in league play), 6-6 SR Vaughn Karvala (26.7 ppg, 9.8 rpg, 3.8 apg, 2.2 steals at Oregon WI) and, most notably, 6-9 JR Paul Osaruyi – who is vying for the No. 1 spot nationally in the Class of 2027.
