KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The fourth stop of Nike’s Elite Youth Basketball League kicked off in Kansas City’s Hy-Vee Arena on Friday night and the EYBL brought the heat. A buzzer beater to decide a game between the No. 1 ranked prospects in the classes of 2025 and 2026, three-stars on the rise and much more headlined opening night activities.

Since its inception, the EYBL has become known for not only the depth of talent but the league’s ability to produce elite level matchups on a daily basis and that was the case on Friday as the Oakland Soldiers and Arizona Unity tussled on the first floor of the multi-level facility carved out of the old Kemper Arena. The Unity are headlined by 2026’s No. 1 player Brandon McCoy while the Soldiers feature not only 2025 No. 1 AJ Dybantsa but the guy McCoy leapt for the top spot in 2026, No. 2 Tyran Stokes.

While the expectation was offensive fireworks, the actual product on the floor was a grind it out, defensive slugfest that came down to the very last second. Literally.

On the day he announced his transfer to Utah Prep for his senior season, the 6-foot-8 Dybantsa was in struggle mode offensively. His jump shot was off and he just seemed out of rhythm. At least until it mattered most. During the game’s closing minutes Dybantsa scored 10 of his game-high 19 points and included the scoring microburst was a big-time lob finish from Stokes in transition, three clutch free throws with 19 seconds to go and then three from about 28 feet as the buzzer sounded to secure a 60-57 lead. It’s no wonder why ArkansasAuburnKentuckyNorth Carolina and a host of others are in hot pursuit and he continues to back up his top billing in the rising senior class.

His teammate Stokes didn’t have his best night either but did do some nice things. Stokes converted often at the free throw line, had four slick assists and along with Dybantsa teamed to really make McCoy work on the offensive end.
