One Sumter

The Sumter County Parks and Recreation Department (SCPRD) has earned statewide recognition after its B-12U Basketball Team brought home the 2025 Georgia Recreation and Park Association (GRPA) State Championship title. Coached by longtime SCPRD leader Dwight Harris, the Sumter squad delivered an impressive postseason performance, defeating elite teams from across Georgia, including programs representing Dekalb and Douglas counties. The championship victory highlights the strength of Sumter County’s youth development efforts and the outstanding leadership of its coaches and staff.

The B-12U roster included ten rising stars who played with intensity, skill, and teamwork
throughout the tournament: Waylon Barnett, Timothy Battle Jr., Tre’Shawn Campbell, Avienn Gonzalez, Ahmir Henry, Jordan Holloway, Zaiden Jones, Brendon Roberts, Kyle Robinson, and Korderion Taylor.

Each athlete brought something unique to the team, and together they demonstrated what hard work and community support can achieve. Their victory reflects not only their talent on the court but also their sportsmanship and commitment to excellence.

This championship win is the latest in a long tradition of youth sports success for Sumter County, made possible by dedicated coaches, families, and community supporters. The SCPRD continues to serve as a foundation for developing strong, confident youth and building pride across the county.

Sumter County celebrates this remarkable achievement and congratulates Coach Dwight Harris and the 2025 B-12U State Champions on their inspiring season.
