Spotlight Players

Mr. Memorial Day- Tyus Battle Guard (Team Battle)- Battle proved to be the top 10 and Under performer in the region. He led his troops through one of the toughest tournaments on the East Coast and played like a stud in the finals. At times he just overwhelms the competition.

Joey Krempa Guard (Team Battle)- Krempa once again played a poised game and hit the big trey when called upon. He took advantage of some key opportunities.

Edriese Patterson Forward (Team Battle)- Patterson was huge inside for Team Battle on the boards and scoring. He took up a lot of space and FACES didn’t have the size to match up.

RJ Cole Guard (FACES)- Cole was on his game again. He controls the tempo and attacks when needed. His range is unbelievable for a third grader and he pushes it to the final whistle.

Adam Frank Guard (FACES)- Frank came over from Riverside and this was a big pickup for the Jersey squad. Frank has deep range and also isn’t afraid to pull from anywhere or anytime.
