SPOKANE, Wash. -- The battle to get to Nike Center Court continues as Spokane Hoopfest's top Elite Men's teams square off Sunday.  

Douglass Properties, which features a roster of former Gonzaga players, is the favorite playing out of the Sleep Country Elite Division #1 Bracket.  The team avoided an upset in its bracket championship, beating Musclepharm, 20-19, to reach the Men's Elite Over 6' Division semifinals.  David Pendergraft put in the game-winner, after Musclepharm missed a free throw that would've won the game.

Meanwhile, Fast Eddies cruised to victories against Above Average and Da Monstarz on Saturday, and followed that up with a victory against Oly Sports Chiro on Sunday to reach the Bracket #3 championship.  Led by 3-on-3 veteran and Ferris grad Erik Benzel and Garrett Strocsher, Fast Eddies thumped Knock on Wood, 20-10, to advance.
