The Malibu Parks and Recreation Division 6-8 basketball team Big Bu Blue won their championship game earlier this month. The division includes boys from grades six through eight.

Despite sporting the league’s smallest starting lineup, Big Bu Blue ended up clinching the league championship game with a final score of 41-34.

Impressive offensive plays between Frankie McGovern and Jordan Lieberman helped secure the win, along with lots of tough defense by the rest of the team.

The Big Bu Blue executed a drastic turnaround after starting the season with three consecutive losses. The boys came back after the winter break and won five in a row, and six out of the last seven to secure the championship.
