Basketbull Jr. Nationals 11U Recap: NJ Shore Shots Pull Out Win

NJ Shore Shots Are Champions

Top Performers


Nazreon Reid Forward (NJ Shore Shots)- Reid has shown great improvement since I saw him at the Baby Baller Bonanza. He totally dominated the glass and managed to convert several put backs. When Reid got fouled he made the opposition pay at the charity stripe.

John Crowley Guard (NJ Shore Shots)- Crowley shooting helped the Shore Shots comeback from a huge deficit. He was on fire from the 3 point range and his play ignited his teammates and kept the rally going.

Mike Cassidy Guard (NJ Shore Shots)- Cassidy didn’t launch treys but he stepped in and nailed a few long twos that cut into the lead. He showed good toughness when taking these shots in this close game.


Trevor Forbes Guard (Dunbar)- Forbes was the main man for this bunch. His outside shot was money and he went coast to coast several times. I like that fact that he’s ready to shoot once he touches the rock and steps into his shot before releasing it.

Isaiah Haines Guard (Dunbar)- This point guard was a total pest on defense by collecting over 10 steals. On offense he raced end to end for buckets or kicked the pill to shooters in the correct spot.


Aaron Williams Guard (Dunbar)- Williams also gave Dunbar some outside help. He has nice range and a smooth stroke from behind the arc. He plays a lot stronger than he looks.
