 Coach
Falls
hopes
to
improve
the
quality
of
Basketball
in
upper
Montgomery
County
through
his
efforts
at
EBA.
Nearly
all
his
players
are
from
upper
Montgomery
County.
He
realizes
that
being
competitive
nationally
in
the
AAU
and
YBOA
is
very
difficult
with
players
only
from
such
a
small
area.

the
EBA

girls
team.
Since
the
team

of
the
regional
AAU
and

the
State
of
Maryland

the
Youth
Basketball

America
National
Championships.
Each
player
on
the
team
has
successfully
made
their
high
school
teams
and
have
become
valuable
contributors
to
their
schools.
The
team
has
a
growing
reputation
and
is
looking
forward
to
a
big
year
in
