Chelsea Dreamer + Mentor Win Nike's "More Than A Game" Mentor Contest

Job Bridges and Eloisa Ananias

Chelsea II Mentor Eloisa Ananias was awared the More Than a Game Mentor Award by Nike. Ananias, who commits to mentoring Job two times a month throughout the year, will receive a Nike finisher jacket. In addition, NIKE will donate 100 tee shirts and other promotional items to the Chelsea-Elliott Dreamers.

More Than a Game is the story of five talented young basketball players from Akron, Ohio star in this remarkable true-life coming of age story about uncommon friendship in the face all too common adversities. Coached by a charismatic but inexperienced player's father, and led by future NBA superstar LeBron James, the "Fab Five's" improbable seven-year journey leads them from a decrepit inner-city gym to the doorstep of a national high school championship. Along the way, the close-knit team is repeatedly tested--both on and off the court--as James' exploding worldwide celebrity threatens to destroy everything they've set out to achieve together.
