DIARY OF A BALLER: AJ DYBANTSA (BROCKTON, MA) ENTRY #1
This is my first entry in the Diary of a Baller. I’m thankful that Mr. Melton is allowing me to share what I do during the week. My name is Anicet Dybantsa Jr but I am known by AJ. I’m 14 years old from Brockton, Massachusetts and play for Expressions Elite. I go to St Sebastian’s School in Needham, Massachusetts and I’m in the 8th grade. My parents take me to practice and games all the time and travel to all these states for me to play basketball and I appreciate them. My coaches Joe Saunders and Keyshawn Narcisse and my trainer Brandon Ball also play a big role in my development and success as of now and I thank them for that. Now let’s start with my weekly journey.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT: ERIC JAMES JR. GOES FOR 40!
AAU Team: Pittsburgh Supreme
Position: Shooting Guard
Class: 2026
Event: Tip Off Classic
Breakdown: Eric James Jr. is a tough finisher at the rim. He scored 40 pts in pool play and did not shoot one three pointer. His layup package is pretty aggressive and doesn’t let any defender slow him down. He is very impressive and we are looking for great things from him. This was one of the best Tip Off Classic scoring outings in history.
