Each tournament was double-elimination style with four teams vying for the top spot on their installation to play in the 2013 8th Army Basketball Championship.
The four teams that played in the Camp Walker tournament were 25th Transportation Battalion, 36th Signal Battalion, 188th Military Police Company, and Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 19th Expeditionary Sustainment Command.
The four teams that played in the Camp Carroll tournament were 498th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 501st Sustainment Brigade, 563rd Medical Logistics Company and 6th Ordnance Battalion.
“It feels good for us to win today and become the number one team in Camp Walker two years in a row. I think the victory factors were cohesiveness, team combination and trust in each other,” said Capt. Brandon Gooch, 25th Transportation Battalion coach and guard.
In the finals, 25th Transportation Battalion, undefeated, played against HHC, however, lost their first game 58-43. In their second game, they rallied to beat HHC 51-30 to win the Camp Walker tournament.
