James Blackmon Play Huge In The Championship
Sunday was the day of Championship and All American Games. Basketball Spotlight was in the building for these games. The 3 Championship games went on at the same time therefore we decided to cover the 2014-2015 game.
Spotlight Players
James Blackmon 5’6 Guard (Fort Wayne, IN)- Blackmon checked in the went right to work. He drained multiple treys and made some big time moves in the mid range area. He has the knack of driving and fading away on his pull up jumper to avoid shot blockers. Once he gets hot he usually scores in bunches.
Dylan Portwood 6’0 Forward (Georgetown, KY)- Portwood was destroying the competition early on in the final. He scored every way imaginable. He knocked down the deep jumper, converted on the blocks, hit the face up jumper and even finished with the left hand. He was virtually unstoppable for the most part.
Anton Beard 5’9 Guard (North Little Rock, AR)- The big guard Beard turned in a complete performance. The smooth lefty is the size of most forwards on this level and uses this to his advantage. Once he gets into the lane he specializes in the pull up jumper or high tear drop floater. Jordan Dembley 5’2 Guard (Minneapolis, MN)- Jordan rebounds well for a guard and was willing to take some big shots for his stacked squad. He likes to shot high arching treys but really made his presence felt hitting the glass.
Craig Victor 6’4 Forward (New Orleans, LA)- Victor was just too big once again in this game. He scores so easy it looks like someone is just rewinding a tape. What is unique is that he has a nice skill set and foot work at this young age.Mikey Dixon 4’11 Guard (New Castle, DE)- Little Mikey made some quick moves in the championship. The youngster does take a few chances but you can’t challenge his heart and effectiveness at times on the floor.
Quentin Snyder 5’6 Guard (Louisville, KY)- The Chris Paul type guard put on a passing display in the finals. His teammates looked very confident running in transition with Snyder. The point guard delivered passes on the dime and even adds some flair at times.
