For the second time in two years the No Fear 15U boys’ basketball team ventured into Houston to play in one of the state’s most prestigious tournaments and came away with a championship. The squad finished the three-day Texas Classic of Pearland Tournament undefeated and downed Fort Bend Select 60-39 in the final Sunday. No Fear won the H-Town Classic in May 2013.

Brazosport High School’s Chris Rossow (17 ppg) and Angel Trevino (12 ppg) led the way in the scoring column, but according to coach Robert Griggs it was his two eighth-graders who stepped up their play and allowed the team to dominate, winning by an average margin of 17 points a game.

“BJ Foster from Angleton and Hunter Quick from Lake Jackson elevated their game to another level,” Griggs said. “Both players are phenomenal on the defensive end, but they added another dimension offensively this weekend and we needed it. When those two guys are playing well on both ends and our shooters Ty Griggs and Trey Burnett are hitting we are nearly unstoppable.”

No Fear pulled out wins over teams from San Antonio, McAllen, Elgin, Houston and Fort Bend County. Teams from across Texas as well as Oklahoma, Louisiana, Kansas and Georgia participated. Going back at least 10 years, this tournament has seen the likes of LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, O.J. Mayo and T.J Ford while they were in high school.

In the first game of the tournament Rossow nailed three free throws with three seconds on the clock to force the game into overtime. From there Angleton’s Koy Richardson converted a three-point play the old-fashioned way to close out the game as No Fear won 67-63.

“I’m not backing down from my statement that Chris Rossow is one of the best point guards in the state for his age,” Griggs said. “Hunter, BJ and Angel all hold things down on the defensive end, then we bring in post Kevin Davis off the bench and things keep on clicking.”

No Fear will attempt to defend its title at the H-Town Classic May 16-18 in Humble.
