Our Athletes of the Week are the Eden Athletic Club Boys Basketball Team. Many of the players are made up of Castro Valley and San Leandro High School students and the surrounding East Bay. The team finished 9-1 this season this year and won the East Bay Youth Athletic League (EBYAL) Championship game on Sunday, March 5 as the Number 1 seed in dramatic fashion over Diablo (Number 2 seed). The game went into overtime and was tied 46-46 with 4 seconds left. That’s when guard Ayden Lui hit a contested beyond half-court shot to win the game with no time left for the Championship.  This is the first Championship in this division for Eden and the team will get the hold the trophy for a year in the Eden Community Center in San Leandro.
