NORTH ADAMS, Mass. – Three days of three-on-three basketball resulted in four teams being crowned champions on Sunday afternoon at the Armory.

 

The Northern Berkshire Sports Academy hosted its inaugural HoopFest 3-on-3 tournament at the Ashland Street venue, chosen when it became clear the weekend’s weather would make things problematic on the outdoor courts at the Noel Field Athletic Complex.

 

Twenty teams of up to five players in four divisions competed Friday evening through Sunday for local playground bragging rights.

 

Organizer Russell Beauchamp said most of the teams hailed from North County, though at least one squad traveled up from Great Barrington.

 

The Travelers of North Adams won Sunday’s first championship, taking the Division 2 title with a 22-8 win over the Shootas.

 

In the second title game, Gettin’ Buckets earned a 23-9 win over Twizzy Rich in Division 4.

 

The day’s closest contest came in Division 1, where the Final 4 edged the Jolly Ranchers, 19-18, in the only game to go the full 20 minutes.

 

The final title of the afternoon went to Boom Elite, which won the Division 3 championship with a 22-13 win over Greenlight.
