A team from Hill Air Force Base won the Commander’s Cup 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament on Nov. 7, 2026, according to a Nov. 12 report. The tournament was hosted by the Utah Jazz and the Utah Department of Veterans and Military Affairs at the Utah Jazz Zions Bank Basketball Campus in Salt Lake City.
Team Hill secured the tournament championship with an undefeated 6-0 record. The championship roster included Staff Sgt. Cameron Hackett of the 75th Operations Support Squadron, Staff Sgt. Rick Ah Hong of the 75th Force Support Squadron, Airman 1st Class Nazir Andino of the 75th Security Forces Squadron, Airman Devin Myers of the 388th Operations Support Squadron, and Melissa Knoop of the 75th Air Base Wing Communications and Information Directorate.
The competition featured 16 teams representing various military installations throughout northern Utah. Participating locations included three teams from Hill, Tooele Army Depot, Dugway Proving Ground, Camp Williams, and Roland R. Wright Air National Guard Base. This collaboration between the Utah Jazz and the Utah Department of Veterans and Military Affairs allows service members to compete in a professional athletic facility to strengthen ties between the military and the state of Utah.
The tournament is in its third year and serves as a fixture for military outreach in Utah. These competitions are designed to build unit cohesion, bolster morale, and enhance physical readiness across the joint force by allowing units to test their skills through athletic competition outside of daily operational routines.
In recognition of their undefeated performance, the members of Team Hill were formally recognized on the court during halftime of the Utah Jazz Military Appreciation Game on Nov. 11, 2026.
