Basketball Spotlight 8th Grade Top 10 Presented BY AGame Team Apparel  


1. Team Takeover (Black): From what I hear this team is loaded from top to bottom. Front line features double-double machine Terrence "Big Smoove" Williams and 6'10 Hunter Dinkinson. Jeremy Roach also came over to run the point. They will make their Spotlight debut at the Clash For The Cup. 

2. New Heights: NH checks at #2 after an impressive run at the Tip Off Classic. They have enough pieces to the run the table and win the Grand Finale. Ryan Myers was on fire at the Tip Off Classic. Their next stop is the Clash For The Cup.

3. Team Final (Blue): The PA Nike crew came to the Tip Off Classic and made a run to the championship. They have one of the best back courts in the country in AJ Hoggard and Lynn Greer. They will be looking to cut down the net at the Clash For The Cup. 

4. B'More United Thrill: The DMV boys had enough fire power to win the Tip Off Classic. Justin Lewis is making a run at best prospect in the region. While Rahim Ali is becoming a guard to know in the region. They have also committed to the Clash For The Cup.

5. NJ Playaz: We didn't know what to expect from the NJ Playaz but they put us on high alert with a semifinals run at the Tip Off Classic. Noah Farrakhan has emerged as a top notch guard while Ray Figures and CJ Wilcher round out a mean back court trio. 

6. Gauchos: I haven't seen the Choz yet but they still have CJ Robinson and RJ Davis in the back court. You also can't forget about Demarco Watson emerging as one of the best wings in the country.

7. NY Rens: The Rens retooled their roster with the likes of Richie Greaves, Jon Jon Wilson and Nate Tabor. They made a quarterfinal run at the Tip Off Classic. We will be hearing from them very soon. 

8. Brooklyn Rens: These boys came into the Tip Off Classic and made a little noise. Their guard trio of Kareem May, Keyshawn Leslie and Jason Palmer give them a chance to beat anyone.

9. NY Lightning: The Lightning will be making their Spotlight debut soon featuring BJ Hall and Posh Alexander. We can get better take on this bunch after we see them live. 

10. Team Melo: We will finally get our first look at super wing Che Evans as Team Melo has registered for the Clash. We will definitely see what they are made of.
