AJ Hoggard (ECE-NJABC)

The Baby Baller Bonanza 11U Division was very competitive from top to bottom. Here’s a look at some of the top performers that graced the hardwood in Lakewood, NJ.

Baby Baller Bonanza 11U Top Performers Part 1

Anthony Hoggard Guard (ECE-NJABC)- Hoggard has officially moved over to the point guard spot and seems to love his new role. He fired no look passes all weekend while getting into the lane at will. Now as a point guard he must understand to channel his emotions a little better because its affects the entire team. But being only 11 he has time on his side.

Cole Anthony Guard (New Rens)- Anthony had a tremendous weekend especially in their pool play classic against NJABC. Cole buried several three balls but kept the crowd on their feet with his sweet spin moves near the bucket. He rebounds the ball well for a guard and has a polished game. His best performance came in their thrilling loss to NJABC in which he tallied 23 points.

Kurone Wilson Guard (New Rens)- This lefty was also a crowd pleaser for New Rens. He cut up the defense with double crossovers and used his athleticism to finish off double clutch shots at the rim. Defenders had a difficult time keeping this kid in front. He blasted Team Nelson for 18 markers in their 11 point victory.


Jordan McKoy Guard (Playtime)- At the end of the day McKoy might be the best prospect from this bunch. He has a natural feel for the game and some polished moves. Once he realizes how good he could be and develops a killer instinct his stock should shoot through the roof. His best game was a 20 point outing versus New Heights.



Darrian Dalcourt Forward (ECE-NJABC)- Dalcourt was just what the doctor ordered for NJABC. He dominated the glass and converted put backs against New Rens. The NY squad had no answer for this youngster on the boards. Darrian understands his role so he doesn’t dance around on the perimeter but instead goes straight to the blocks to post up.



Jelanie Carter Guard (Playtime)- Carter caught fire during their game against Brockton Bulldogs. He nailed 4 treys on his way to 17 points. As the shots started falling his confidence grew. Jelanie looked very comfortable from anywhere behind the arc but loves shooting it from the corner.
