FunSport Tourney! Rudy King and Team Underrated Wins vs St. Marks

I am well rested after a busy weekend. To start off at FunSport coach Rudy King put our Team through a nice agility and cone work for 20 minutes. That was a great workout just to get a nice warm up! Shout to Rudy King for his great coaching and mentoring. Rudy King said "Do you want to be a prospect, or just a player" that was the quote of the day for me. I want to be a prospect! Far as the game went. Team U defeated St Marks 44-22. I had a good game. I had 9pts all 3pointers, to help lead my team to victory! Shout out to coach Dre for pushing us hard on defense!

Holy Cross Camp

Hard work put in at this camp as well. To start things off, Holy Cross is an all boys school which is in Queens NY. I went out there to check out the competition, and it was good. On the Middle School level comp wasn't to good. So I was moved up to the H.S. Level, Coach "Kat" from the Panthers felt I need to move up and play with the H.S. Level. Shout out to Coach "Kat". I played well in most of my gamesl. I scored 16pts, 18pts and 5ast in a couple of games. The players were bigger and Quicker, but I managed to play well. My team won the Championship game, I scored 3pts, that was ok,because I had some talented big men that could play. I was just happy with getting the win. I would like to thank Coach Loyd from Holy Cross for having me attend this camp.

Adidas Jr.Phenom Great National Camp!!

I would recommend that evey kid trying to get natianol exposure should come to this camp. Great coaches, lectures, and competition. You will compete againts top players throught out the country.They camp teaches you about responsibilty, for example if you are late to drills,u can't play in your morning games. Also we had to write a essay on why do I love basketball. If I didn't write it.I couldn't play in the games until it was done. For my class 2015 at Jr.Phenom I was ranked #1 in my position and #10 overall. I made the allstar team and scored 10pts. Also I was featured in and article written by Michael Sokolove about the camp and my goals in life. It was my first time getting that much much exposure. It was fun and I will never forget it. Special shout out to my friend Perry Dozier who was ranked #1 player for 2008-2009. My dad couldn't afford to send me back to this years camp. But in 2010 I will be back!

Rutgers University Camp Re-cap

The summer has been going well. And the week i had at Rutgers was great. I had alot of fun with my boys that I went with. EB,Brian and Myles. Rutgers is a great facility. The coaching staff showed us alot of Drills. The competition was ok on the middle school level,so the coaches moved me up to H.S. level. I played very well. One of my games I had 7 three pointers. I had 21pts and 4ast. I also had a good game defensivley. The one thing i did notice is that the the coaches at camp really stress defense. I had to dig deep because guys were alittle quick, but I did adjust. I did get to meet some of the Rutgers players. over all I had a great time.

Sole In The Hole Memorial Game R.I.P Baldie

Last Saturday I played in memorial game. I had a great time. The games played was at a legendary park in Brooklyn. Alot of top players from Bk played there. It was a great experience for me to play. I played against a Team from Maryland from the Hoop Mountain Mid Atlantic boys program. It was great for me because I am only 7th grader and I played with a JV team and started the game at point guard. I was blessed. I played well. I had 18pts 4ast 4 turnovers(Lol! got to watch my turnovers) but we lost the game 75-74. I learned alot from playing with older guys. I will countinue to play in older divisons,because it has helped me become a more focused basketball player. I would love to Shout out Coach Carrol and Coach Anderson, for allowing me to showcase my talent.

Jack Curran Camp Re-Cap

This camp was in Queens at Archbisop Molloy H.S. The same school. NYC and NBA legendary point guard Kenny Anderson went to. The school has a lot of history of famous people who went there. On the walls there where picuture of Kenny Smith, Kenny Anderson, Peter Vecey and much more. It was very good camp. I learn and watched Jack Curran teach his basketball skills and display his high basketball IQ to the campers.Mr Curran had a special eye on me during the camp. During on game I had 35pts and 8ast. During another I had 28pts and 6 ast. I am a left handed point guard. I may have reminded him of a young Kenny Anderson (I hope! lol) The camp was good with skill development drills. The week went well. I lead my team to Win the Championship! in O.T. I had 10pts. And hit the winning free throws to win the game by 2pts.
