Sunday was the last day for the young athletes at the MiddleSchoolHoops Showcase to make a name for themselves. The doors opened at 8 o’clock in the morning and everyone got right back to work.
The day started with more games on all six courts simultaneously. Today’s games seemed to have a better flow and a little more team emphasis. Learning to play with a completely new team is difficult for both players and coaches. Both the players and coaches seemed to make the adjustment and let their talent shine.
Around 1 o’clock the day got really interesting as four participants got ready for a dunk contest and put on show for the whole camp. Kyree Walker and Tayson Parker went back and forth throwing down some dunks that would pass in the NBA dunk contest. It was ultimately Kyree who won the contest by jumping over 2020 six-footer Jeremy Baker.
The day ended with three all-star games between the top 20 players in each grade. Below are the players selected to each team for their respective grade.
2020-Team Green- Julian Newman, Adam Miller, Demon Clowney, Tayson Parker, Joe Bamasile, Cameron Bryant, Harry Lackey, KT Raimey, Mike Saunders and Keece Brown.
