Coach Bradley has been coaching and developing kids in the Petersburg and Chesterfield, Va area for the last eight years. He is dedicated to the youth in these communities and has built a good repoire with area coaches and young athletes.

Coach Graves is one of the most aggressive recruiters of young basketball players that I have seen in a long time, he has knack for finding young talent. Graves coaches and developes talent in the Dinwiddie and Hopewell, VA area. He coached last year for Team Crossover and brings valuable experience and character to our team.

Les Johnson has been coaching AAU basketball for twelve years and has a ton of experience in sports from AAU, high school and college. He has decided to run a team instead of coaching, because he wants to change the negative perception surronding AAU basketball. His ultimate goal: Each One Teach One!

Our EOTO 5th grade girls won 1st place in the  AAU Division I Classic bracket this year. This victory distinguished our girls with a ranking of 11th place in the nation. Not too shabby...way to go EOTO!!! 

Convening in Franklin TN, during the week of June 24-29, 2012,  37 of the best teams in the US  competed for the title of 2012  5th grade Division I AAU national champions. Another 32 teams competed for the Division II championship title--yielding a total of 67 teams from across the nation.

Teams such as the Tennesse Trotters, the George Hill Lady Stars and the Oklahoma Select, had established themselves as championship teams by winning AAU titles in prior years. But each year, the title is up for grabs again, and previous champions have to defend their titles...or lose them.  This tournament was without question the toughest competition our EOTO girls had seen all season.

The last three games of the tournament determined our girl's final placement in the Classic bracket. These games were the MD Attitude, TN Select Navy, and the OK Select.  Each of these games  was of nailbiting intensity and won by narrow margins of one or two points! Our EOTO girls did an amazing job playing under pressure.

Great job EOTO 5th grade girls!!!

Congrats to the EOTO 2018 Boys Team on their second place finish. The Las Vegas Live Tournament was a great experience for our boys. They went undefeated up to the Championship game. It was good to get out of our element to see the West Coast talent. On our way to the "Ship" we saw some great competition. We had an opportunity to play Vallejo Hustlers (CA), Vegas Elite (NV), Inland Force (CA), D. Gibb Hoops (TX) and 1 Team 1 Dream (CA). We lost the Championship game by 3 points to the Houston Rookies 72-69.

Duluth, GA-- It’s very rare that you find athletic programs for youth with a vision other than their production as an athlete on the court, but in addition to their growth as individuals as people in the community. Established in 2004, Each One Teach One (“EOTO”) based out of Duluth Georgia is a basketball program, “dedicated to assisting student-athletes involving its participants in community service projects and building character to become productive members of their community.”

 Originally, EOTO was organized to give a player the opportunity to play AAU Basketball, that more defined programs didn’t extend the offer to, so other players in the area could have the AAU playing experience. Although EOTO was a program that had early success, their initial goal was to in time, eventually transform young players into complete basketball players. EOTO also provides personal relationships for each athlete to ensure they each exceed their potential of becoming “confident, competent, and competitive individuals prepared to face life’s challenges with a commitment to excellence and serving others as they have been served.”

The EOTO philosophy revolves around the player development and the importance of team work, competing for one common goal of coming together to win. “One Family, One Team,” a motto that carried a team of eight and nine-year-olds to an outstanding second place finish at  AAU Nationals (division one).

EOTO is open to both boys and girls. Boys ages 8u, 10u, and 11u, and girls grades 3rd-8th, and high school with plans of expanding to more age groups in the near future. You can expect to find EOTO in several D1 Spects tournaments in addition to YBOA, and making appearances out of state as well in Charlotte NC, Birmingham AL, New Orleans LA, Little Rock, AR, and Orlando FL.

Congrats to both EOTO 11u squads for a very good showing at YBOA Nationals, in Kissimmee, Fl. The only blemish on their records was when they played each other in the Elite Eight. Scott Belyeu's Black team beat Ken Eskridge's Green team by a 9 point margin 55-46. That was the closest that anyone came to the Black squad. The Black team went on to beat the tournament favorite Central Florida Magic by a score of 51-39. earning them a chance to face the Tennessee Hot Shots in the Championship, which they won 65-46.

Congrats Boys one more State title to add to the list. Black team had a good showing also as usual. This weekend it was the Green Teams chance to shine. Walking through the tournament with an unbeaten performance, capping it off with a 16 point victory over the Atl Celtics. Way to go fellas...

Congrats to both 11u teams for going undefeated in the YBOA State Championships. It was decided that the Championship should not be played. As they were all winners. The State title and Trophie came back home again for the second year in a row. Thanks fellas and congrats. Lets keep working hard...

EOTO combined 13 players to compete in the Celtics ABC Tourney. There were some very good teams including Rhytes Warriors and the Arkansas Hawks, who are #2 and #8 in the country respectively. The boys played hard and gave it their all. But the two powerhouses were well prepared and very strong. It was a learning experience for the team and coaches. Which tells us we have plenty of work to do before nationals. Good luck Boys.

EOTO Black completed another perfect tournament with wins over Elite Basketball, ATL Celtics, GA Tarheels, EOTO Green and the Memphis Wildcats. On their way to another Championship. Derrick Lawrence was the tournament MVP. Armon Williams and Trey Morrison were chosen for the All-Tournament team. Way to go fellas..

Congrats to Coach Scott and the Black Team for their win. Both teams did very well in pool play by going undefeated. The championship game which was played between the two EOTO teams was tied until late in the 3rd quarter. When Juwan White, Travis Anderson and Myles Beleyu hit back to back 3 pointers, after that the Green team struggled. Great tournament and CONGRATS to both teams you played well.

In a repeat of  the 2009 YBOA State Championship, the last two teams standing were EOTO and the Atlanta Celtics... and once again, bragging rights and a title were on the line. 

The game was tight and even had a tied score at half time. It wasn't until the final 3 minutes of the 4th quarter when numerous missed opportunities on the Celtics's side, coupled with steals and baskets on Eoto's side, allowed EOTO to pull ahead to win the game and thus the YBOA GA State Title. 

Kudos to the EOTO organization, coaches, players, parents and fans for their continued support.  Hope to see you at Nationals!

PEACH STATE HOOPS: April 19, 2010

Class of 2012 point guard Jasmine Jenkins (Gainesville, GA/E.O.T.O.) picked up a scholarship offer from UAB.  Jenkins is a 5-7 general with a smooth jumper and a slick handle. She's just now stepping onto the exposure scene and UAB's offer should be the first of many she receives over the next year or so.

We have always had a great relationship and have always supported each other. Now "We Are Family". This is a great fit as there are alot of very talented young men in Jays organization. The combination of these groups could be dangerous on a National level. It is also an honor to have another dedicated leader as our partner. We look forward to see the results.
