Rumi vs Hoopstars 2025 OBA Cup Playoff Highlights
Rumi U14 Boys Wrap Up 2024–2025 Season with Multiple League Championships!
We are proud to celebrate an unforgettable 2024–2025 season for our Rumi Basketball U14 Boys Team, who demonstrated exceptional talent, determination, and teamwork across Ontario and beyond!
Rumi Season Highlights Include:
-
2025 Ontario Basketball Cup Champions (Ottawa)
-
2025 MYBL Summer League Tier 1 (AAA) Champions (Toronto/Durham)
-
2025 OBA Pool K Division Champions (Toronto/Durham)
-
Silver Medal – 2025 Inner City Saints AAA Tournament (Brampton)
-
Bronze Medal – 2024 Chris Paulin Memorial Tournament (AA+/AAA, Ottawa)
In just two seasons, this incredible group of scholar-athletes along with their committed coaches and families have made their mark with a season full of thrilling victories, standout performances and incredible growth on and off the court.
While we celebrate these accomplishments with pride, the team knows the journey is far from over. As we often say:
‘Beyond mountains, there are mountains’. At its core, this proverb suggests that: When you overcome one challenge, another one often lies ahead.
But it’s not meant to be discouraging — rather, it’s a reminder of the ongoing nature of effort, learning, and growth. Whether in sports, personal and community development, leadership, or life, we never truly “arrive.” Every peak we reach (or challenge we overcome) reveals new learning, new perspectives and new opportunities to grow.
Our players understand that they are not just athletes — they are integrative leaders who understand that success is about more than just winning games. Each player remains focused, humble and committed to learning toward the betterment of self, others, and the world.
Congratulations to the team, coaches, and families on an extraordinary season — and here’s to continuing the climb together!
