COLUMBUS – Local AAU team OneUnit Basketball recently competed in the most recent Amateur Sports tournament held in Greenville, with all three of its teams advancing to the prestigious gold bracket. 

This Columbus-based basketball program continues to foster an environment where young athletes thrive, showcasing their skills and sportsmanship through weekend tournaments.

Currently, OneUnit fields a second-year 5th-grade boys team, along with newly established 5th/6th-grade girls and 6th-grade boys teams. The organization prides itself on instilling a love for the game while also mentoring its student-athletes in crucial areas such as personal health, competitiveness, and sportsmanship.
