TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - A group of north Florida and south Georgia youth basketball stars look to win a National Championship next week, as the 6th and 8th grade Show Off All-Stars travel to Las Vegas for two National Tournaments.
Both squads had to receive invitations to compete at the AAU tournaments, and after stellar summers, they'll compete against close to 400 other teams for bragging rights.
"Some of the guys, they can't sleep!" laughed Chariya Davis, who coaches the 6th grade squad. "They're so anxious to get to Vegas and to kind of see how we match up from Florida against people from the Midwest and the West Coast."
"I feel like it's just a once in a lifetime opportunity," said 8th grade team member Terrion Arnold. "I have to take advantage of it, me and the team. We want to put Tallahassee back on the map and get a ring on my finger!"
Competition starts with pool play on Tuesday.
