The final leg of Nike's EYBL kicked off Saturday in Harbor City at the Hangar Athletic Xchange just outside of Los Angeles. With berths to the Peach Jam on the line, the play was intense and physical. Already assured of a spot in the Peach Jam, Team Takeover is looking to finish out the three session EYBL undefeated and they rode the play of Jerami Grant and Arnaud Adala Moto during a hard fought win over Howard Pulley during an afternoon game.

Facing a scrappy Howard Pulley team during an early afternoon game, Team Takeover looked to move to 11-0 during EYBL play -- and give them 23 straight wins going back to last year's L.A. EYBL and the Peach Jam.

Facing an active zone, Takeover turned to rising senior wing Arnaud Adala Moto during the first half. Athletic and strong, the 6-foot-5 wing came up big as he scored 18 first half points in a variety of ways. He drove to the rim, finished jumpers out to the three point line all while playing active defense. Already ranked #117 in the 2012 Rivals150, the three-star wing is positioning himself for a move up the ranking.

After Adala Moto provided the scoring punch in the first half, it was Jerami Grant who took over offensively in the second half. Often operating out of the high post as a four man, the 6-foot-7 four-star prospect delivered some passes, attacked the rim and finished with explosiveness when he got there while dominating second half scoring and helping Takeover to a tough win.

Team Takeover plays with savvy, toughness, continuity and Moto is their catalyst at both ends. He is a physical specimen with an ideal combination of length and explosiveness for the wing position. He competes on every possession and is always in attack mode, scoring in a variety of ways. Due to his long arms, strength and athletic prowess he can also guard multiple positions and should be a defensive stalwart at the next level.

Arnaud Moto (Alexandria, Va./ Episcopal)
2012, SF, 6-6, 215 pounds
Moto passes the look test immediately and he also passed the production test on the glass and defending on the wing and in the low post. Moto is strong, physical and he rebounds on the defensive end with power. He simply clears out less physical opponents with ease. He is capable of defending both forward positions because he is a monster athlete who holds his ground in the post and forces the offensive player to shoot over him. He has a good midrange jumper, but must continue to hone his ballhandling and work on his jumper out on the arc. Overall, he is loaded with potential and Virginia Tech, Wake Forest, Stanford, UCLA and NC State are a few schools that have taken notice so far.
