The 12 and Under Division will give Basketball Spotlight a chance to watch some new and upcoming talent. This is a wide open division and it will be our first time checking out most of the squads. This bracket should have the building rocking. Here’s a breakdown of the teams and players to look out for this weekend.
MDC 12 and Under Preview
King Street Kings: KSK comes into the MDC as the reigning NJ State Champs. They have all the swagger and some got coaching to go along with it. Right now they should be looked at like one of the favorites.Team Underrated: I haven’t seen this squad but early reports indicate that they are heavily loaded. My sources say they have some serious size and made a lot of noise during Div. 2 Nationals.
Trenton Boys and Girls Club: The hungry bunch from the Capital City look to smack around a bunch of foes. They have a excellent backcourt in Isiah Powell an Davonte Coles. They are on a collision course with KSK.JSL Hoops: JSL 12 and Under group are ready to get over the hump. Kyle Carrington is a serious force and will be ready for a coming out party
CJ Jammers: Jake Dadika and Amir Bell should help make things interesting for the Jammers. Dadika is an outside threat and Bell can do just about everything. God’s Property: Formerly Delaware’s Finest, God’s Property made to the final four in their region and looks to bring some Delaware flavor to the MDC.
NJ Pirates: The squad from the Brick City brings a lot of flash and substance to the field. Nassir Barrino is a high scoring guard and might be capable of putting the squad on his back. Also keep an eye on point guard Al Jahaad Bradford.Youth Interlock: YI represents the Chester area well. They have a Mid Atlantic Region Final Four date in two weeks but first want to take care of business at the MDC.
New Heights: New Heights NYC has joined up with Harlem Kings and has point guard Jerron Love. This should be an interesting to watch. They always pack a punch. LI Lightning: This squad made it to the MDC finals last year and should be back for some revenge. They keep some capable guards and love applying pressure.
Team Boss: Tarin Smith is one of the top guards in this bracket. He will be counted on heavy if Team Boss is to make a serious run. Other Teams Include: Playaz, Mid Jersey Heat, LI Trotters, New Heights and SJ Blitz.
