 Kal Bay and Mark Meadows at Gililland Akimel Wins Middle School State Championship 
 
Photos from Championship against Atkinson Feb 21, 2002 Congratulation to Akimel Middle School for winning the Middle 
School State Championship against Atkinson Middle School. The game was close 
most of the first with Akimel pulling away late in the second period. Atkinson 
played very well and never gave up. They came ready to play and it was a very 
exciting game. Eric Hipolito scored 73 points in the four games and was the 
leading scorer for Akimel. Wilson Bibleheimer finished the tournament with 71 
points. Julian Irvin scored 41 for the tournament but was instrumental in 
playing the point guard position. The tournament directors were hard pressed to 
declare an MVP so they decided to have a Tri-MVP with Bibleheimer, Irvin and 
Hipolito sharing the MVP honors. Check back for more details and Photos. Akimel was only the second team to win back to back titles in 
the 27 year 
history of this tournament. Akimel  went undefeated in both 7th and 8th grade 
and won every tournament they entered.
