This iconic event is one of the few that allows teams across circuits to compete at one venue to compete for the right to brag that they are the best in the state. This star studded field is loaded from top to bottom. This is one event that allows the elite programs as well as the underdog programs that want to move up the ladder to meet head-to-head.
6-3 Nate Pierre-Louis Roselle Catholic High School (NJ) played for the 17U Champions Sports U Team Izod and scored 20 points in the championship game to lead the champions over Playaz Remix. David Cordova did an excellent job covering this event and some of the players he mentioned were 6-5 Hamidou Diallo Putnam Science Academy (CT) NY Rens, 6-7 Rheaquone Taylor Barringer High school (NJ) NY Jayhawks, 6-0 Jaheam Cornwall Putnam Science Academy (CT) NY Jayhawks, 6-8 Jordan Nwora Vermont Academy (VT) NY Rens, 6-1 Omar Silverio St. Raymond High School (NY) Dominican Elite, 6-7 Damarri Moore George Wesinghouse High School (NY) NY Jayhawks, 6-7 EJ Anosike St. Thomas More School (CT) The Firm, and many others.
Please follow the comments and player analysis of David Cordova and the other writers that do an excellent job of covering this event. Also, check out the event website and the various New York/New Jersey websites that focus on the very exciting world of basketball in the New York area.
