I first noticed Dashawn Suber as a 10 year old guard playing for Team Next. The then pint size guard used a slingshot type jumper to score buckets and had a slick little handle going to the basket. Over the years Suber has appeared on several squads but now has settled with Rich Soil formerly Team Next. I got a chance to holla at Dashawn as he and his teammates prepare to head to the 14 and Under Nationals. This is the Final Quarter!
