DME Sports Academy HS National Team and PG National Team each played three tough games this weekend, as part of their first of many national events. They traveled to Connecticut and took part in the Power Five Tip Off tournament along with Putnam Science which is ranked 4th in the country, Woodstock Academy ranked 5th, Redemption Christian, and Commonwealth Academy.
Post Grad Head Coach Wesam Al Sous said that the experience of playing three strong games in 3 days is essential and serves as a good foundation to build on for the next events. “We have to work on our offensive system and try to build chemistry. I am happy with the energy levels, we fought as a team.”
High School Head Coach Daniel Mondragon was happy with how his team handled the first two games, “We competed against high-level teams. We showed toughness and the win against Woodstock — we came back from an 11 pt deficit.”
However, there are valuable lessons to be drawn here, “The last game showed us that we need to learn how to win close games. We were up 9 pts with three minutes left in the game and we couldn’t close out, so we will be working on that in the next few weeks.”
DME GM of Basketball Nick Couluris stated that the trip was a good opportunity for DME Sports Academy to showcase their talent on a national scale, “The kids performed well on the court, and held their own against some of the best teams in the country.” When discussing the trip as a whole, Couluris said, “Our kids thoroughly enjoyed the experience. For some it was their first time on a plane. These kids were able to experience once in a lifetime things like our day trip to the basketball Hall of Fame.”
The next national event will take place in Memphis in less than a month.

DAYTONA BEACH – It has been a little over a month since we wrapped up our Post Graduate season, and in that time, we’ve had five of our athletes sign their National Letter of Intent to play at the college level.
This has been a significant accomplishment for athletes like Richard Feagin, who committed to play at Morehead State University, and Marlo Brown who committed to Northern Illinois University. Both decided to play a Post Graduate year with the goal of earning a Division 1 scholarship. The two high school teammates were reunited at DME Sports Academy and played their way into accomplishing their goals. A year of strength training, skill development and competitive basketball has set them up to succeed at the next level.
DME teammates Joshua Curls and Junior Madut came to DME Sports Academy with their own goals and vision of how they could benefit from a Post Graduate year. Curls, a native of View Park, CA, decided to stay close to his roots by committing to California State University, Chico.
A versatile guard, Curls looks to contribute to a program that makes a run at a Division 2 National Championship each year. Madut, who came to DME Sports Academy from Australia, made the decision to stay in the United States and continue his basketball career at Eastern Florida State College. He looks to make an immediate impact on a team that finished as the #2 nationally ranked team in the NJCAA last season.
Kerian Ulhen, a DME Sports Academy Post Graduate came to the Unites States for the first time, in October from France. He has recently committed to Averett University in Danville, Virginia. Uhlen’s hard work and tenacity will make him an impact player in the USA South Athletic Conference.
