DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – DME Academy’s U18 girls basketball team made history by capturing the Chipotle Nationals Championship, capping off an exceptional run against the nation’s top competition and finishing the tournament with three straight statement wins.
Entering Chipotle Nationals with an impressive 22-4 record, DME Academy earned the No. 5 seed and opened tournament play against No. 4 seed Long Island Lutheran (LUHI). DME secured a hard-fought 55-50 victory, led by GiGi Battle, who was named Player of the Game after posting 16 points and 9 rebounds.
In the semifinal, DME faced tournament favorite and No. 1 seed St. James Academy. DME rose to the occasion with a commanding 60-50 win, powered by Sara Okeke, who earned Player of the Game honors with 22 points, 7 rebounds, and 1 block.
The championship game saw DME take on No. 3 seed Bull’s, where the team delivered its most dominant performance of the tournament in a 68-49 victory to claim the national title. GiGi Battle once again earned Player of the Game honors with a remarkable all-around performance of 22 points, 10 rebounds, and 9 assists, finishing just shy of a triple-double.
Battle’s outstanding tournament performance also earned her Tournament MVP honors. Sara Okeke and Timani Harris were both named to the All-Tournament Team.
While the accolades highlight some of the tournament’s standout performances, DME’s championship run was built on a complete team effort from start to finish.
“This was a full team effort in every sense,” DME Academy’s Girls Coach Matt Pannagio said. “Every player contributed something meaningful to this championship run. Their toughness, belief, and unselfishness showed up in every game. It was an amazing thing to witness and be a part of. These girls made history.”
The championship marks a landmark moment for DME Academy girls’ basketball and further establishes the program as one of the premier forces in high school basketball.
For DME Academy, this title was more than a tournament win. It was a defining statement about the strength of the program, the character of the team, and the history this group created together.

Daytona, FL.Louisville basketball commit Mikel Brown Jr. has been named one of the top eight freshmen to watch for the upcoming 2025–26 college basketball season, according to CBS Sports.
Brown, a 5-star point guard and former standout at DME Academy, was ranked No. 5 on the national list. He joins a group of elite recruits that includes Darryn Peterson, AJ Dybantsa, Cameron Boozer, and Darius Acuff Jr.
Brown is currently ranked as the No. 1 point guard in the class of 2025 by 247Sports and is already generating early buzz for the 2026 NBA Draft.

During his final year at DME Academy, Brown averaged 29.6 points per game. He earned McDonald’s All-American honors, won the 3-Point Contest at the McDonald’s All-American Game, and started for Team USA at the FIBA U18 AmeriCup—averaging 10.3 points and 5.2 assists per game.
His ability to control pace, create scoring opportunities, and take over games has made him a standout at every level. CBS Sports called him “a monumental win” for Louisville and a freshman expected to play a major role right away under head coach Pat Kelsey.
Brown’s development at DME Academy helped shape the player he is today. He competed against top-tier talent, trained in a professional environment, and earned opportunities through consistent, high-level play.
