The finals of the Tre Ericson BD Basketball District King League took place at the Multipurpose Sports Complex, Road Town, on April 21, 2012.

The tournament concluded with the final game scores being; ages 11-13, District 4 vs District 8 with District 4 winning, 25-13, District 6 ages 14-16 won their game against District 5 at 41-30 and District 9, 10 years and under dominated District 5 with a scoring of 11-8.

Amongst the overall team winnings, individual team members received awards for their skills displayed on the court.

In the age category 14-16, Mickey Joseph of District 6, with 59 rebounds was awarded for most rebounds as well as Most Valuable Player (MVP) for both the league and the championship. J'kwan Frett of District 5 with 21 steals and 15 assists received his award for having the most steals and the most assists in the league. District 2 Romain Minot, received the last award for most points in the league being 74.

District 4 was awarded the most awards in the 11-13 years old division, with Jackoy Walwyn - most steals at 18 steals, Kedrick Mathew- most assists at 8 assists and Ryan Richardson- Most Valuable Player in the championships. Dmoi Hodge of District 2 received awards for scoring 52, the most points in the league and Most Valuable Player for the League, which left the award for most rebounds in the game going to Akeem Bradshaw of District 8 with 19 rebounds.

"The tournament focuses on kids from 7-16 years of age. There was nothing creative for the youths to do in Tortola, so this activity we created for them. The league is from village to village to ensure that everyone gets to meet one another," said Mr. Brian 'Bash' Brewley, Organizer of the League.

Mr. Brewley stated that the government has actually plugged into the programme. "It is really important to be interested in the youths and the way they are going."

This is the 3rd year of the BD Basketball District King League but the first time it has been named in honour of Tre Erickson, a young basketball player who died tragically last year in a scooter accident.
