Best Of The Best HOF Classic: F.A.C.E.S. Takes Title

F.A.C.E.S. Gets It Done

Jamal Allen scored 26 points but it wasn’t enough as F.A.C.E.S nipped MABC 50-48 to win the Best Of The Best Hall Of Fame Classic 11 and Under Title. RJ Cole connected on 5 treys and finished with 18 points to pace F.A.C.E.S. in the victory.

Spotlight Players

RJ Cole Guard (F.A.C.E.S.)- Cole caught a hot streak from behind the arc just when his team needed it. The southpaw found his rhythm and stroked the rock very well. The stage doesn’t get bigger than the Hall Of Fame and Cole gave a good showing in front of the capacity crowd.

Javon Reis Wilson Guard (F.A.C.E.S.)- Reis Wilson stepped up once again and gave his team a spark. The pint size guard made 3 quick buckets during a pivotal moment of the game. His confidence is beginning to pick up and it’s showing in his play.

Brandon Anderson Guard (F.A.C.E.S.)- Anderson usually is known for his scoring but today it was his defense that helped the squad prevail. His defense on ultra quick guard Glenn Smith helped F.A.C.E.S. get back into the game and eventually take home the title.

Shyquan Gibbs Guard (F.A.C.E.S.)- Gibbs also provided some offensive punch for the Newark, NJ boys. The lefty hit some big shots in this back and forth game. He isn’t afraid to have the rock in his hands when things are on the line.

Jamal Allen Forward (MABC)- Allen was the truth today. The lefty gave F.A.C.E.S. serious problems. He dominates inside while also being able to handle the rock and score. Then just when you think he’s done showing you his arsenal he will step out and drain a trey with confidence. He was truly a joy to watch.

Glenn Smith Guard (MABC)- Glenn is a speedster with the rock and has good change of direction moves. He gets rid of defenders with crossovers and knows how to drop the rock off to teammates.


Brandon Twitty Guard (MABC)- Twitty is a tough guard that has a good mid range stroke and gets involved heavy on defense. He brings a lot of intensity to the table which helps his squad succeed.
