The Jahda Martin Classic

It's Great To See Young Kids Chase Their Dreams, The Determination To Do What Ever It Takes To Achieve Your Goals Is What Today's Society Is Missing...There's No Easy Way To The Top!!!

Good Luck On Your Journey Bryce, Never Give Up!!!

PITTSFIELD -- When talent collides with opportunity, a spontaneous combustion occurs that ignites dreams of a fruitful future. RELATED | Brian Sullivan: Bryce Daley happy to take his game on the road

This Has To Stop, Where Did So Many Young Lives Become So Lost & Why???

PITTSFIELD -- City police are investigating two early morning shootings that happened in the same neighborhood a day apart from each other.

It Is With Great Regret That I Must Inform Everyone That The 2K14 Jahda Martin Classic Has Been Canceled.

Due To The Increase In Violence Throughout Our Community Over The Last Several Months This Decision Had To Be Made, It Was A Hard One To Make But Until Some Type Of Resolution Of This Growing Problem Comes About I Just Don't Feel It's Safe For The Athletes & Spectators.

This Tournament Was Started To Promote Peace Within Our Community & It Saddens Me To See Our Youth Choosing The Route Of Drugs & Violence, Which Seems To Only Be Getting Worse. Bottom Line Is I Don't Want To Take The Chance Of Tainting The Legacy Of What We've Built & I Don't Want Mine Or Jahda's Name Attached To Anything That May Reflect Upon Us In A Negative Way.

I Hope Everyone Can Understand This Decision & Realize This Is Something I Would Never Want To Do. All Money Raised So Far Will Remain In The Account For A Possible Finale Next Summer. If That Doesn't Happen Then All Money Raised Will Then Be Donated To "TeamMungTraining"...A Youth Basketball Training Program Started By 3x JMC Champion & Local Youth Mentor, Jamal Mungin.

Thank You All For Your Continued Support Throughout The Years & I Hope That Next Year Our City Will Have Made The Proper Steps Forward In Ensuring The Safety Of Our Community.

After Careful Consideration The 2K14 Jahda Martin Classic Finale Will Be A 4-Team Invitational Featuring The Top 4 Teams Over The Last 4 Years. It Will Be A Round-Robin Style Bracket With The 2 Best Teams Battling It Out To Call Themselves The Champions For The Last Time.

The Invited Teams Will Be The Defending & 3-Time Champion Pittsfield Squad Led By Jamal Mungin...The 2K12 Champion Springfield Squad Led By Jamual Warren...The 2K13 Finalist New York Squad Led By Josh Baker & The 4-Year Staple & Semi-Finalist North Adams Squad Led By Brendan Kordana.

Since The Games Will Be Back-To-Back They'll Be No Player Limit & Strongly Urge Teams To Pick Up Some Extra Players, If You've Played In Year's Past & Would Like To Still Play Contact 1 Of The Captains To See If They Need Players.

These 4 Teams Have Been Playing Since The Start With The Same Group Of Guys & Feature Some Of The Area's Top Athletes...With That Being Said It Should Shape Up To Be The Most Entertaining & Competitive Tournament To-Date & We Hope You'll Join Us As We "Play 4 Peace" One Last Time.
