A Las Vegas basketball club winning a national tournament might seem like big news, but for Poly Nation, last month's championship victory in the 15-and-under division of the Easter Classic event in Las Vegas came as no surprise.

Poly Nation, which runs teams in the age groups of fourth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth grade, is recognized as one of the strongest youth basketball programs in the city and a breeding ground for future high school and college hoops standouts.
