Spotlight Players
Ray Lawry Guard (Team Final)- Lawry was huge in the final. He got out on the break and converted some easy buckets. He also gave us a glimpse of his outside shot knocking down treys that stop a couple of F.A.C.E.S. runs. Lawry is also a ball hawk on defense while pressuring guards into several turnovers.
Malik Ellison Guard (Team Final)- Ellison might be the most polished 6th Grader in the region. His poise and Basketball IQ had one high school coach saying he could run the point for him right now. Malik also showed tremendous range over the weekend knocking down deep treys from NBA range.
Trevaughn Wilkerson Forward (Team Final)- Wilkerson is just the icing on the cake for Team Final. He truly dominates the paint on both ends of the floor. This kid has really improved since I first saw him last year. I like how he catches the ball and keeps it high while turning to score. Defensively, shooting over him is like shooting over the Green Monster.
Lamar Kimble Guard (Team Final)- Kimble’s play in the semifinals helped Team Final get past a stubborn The City. This guard just has so many moves in his game. His ball handling allows him to get anywhere on the floor and score at will. He was an excellent pick up for this squad.
Trey Lowe Guard (F.A.C.E.S.)- Lowe helped keep things close in the beginning for FA.C.E.S. The Mercer County native stroked the rock from the perimeter with great measure. This was a pressure packed atmosphere and he stood tall for most of the afternoon. 
Mike Jolaoso Guard (F.A.C.E.S.)- Jolaoso also showed me some heart in the finals. He played excellent defense and really pushed the rock up the floor while making plays for his squad. He has really helped this team with his backcourt play and they are making huge strides.
Brian Brown Guard (F.A.C.E.S.)- F.A.C.E.S. made it to the finals after a tough semifinal win against Team Takeover and Brown was one of the main catalyst. He was assigned to the middle of the press break and when he got the rock he attacked the hole and made them pay for trapping.
Jack Laffy Forward (F.A.C.E.S.)- Laffy gave another huge effort this weekend and was very instrumental in their victory over Team Takeover. He’s so intense on both ends of the floor. He also was a key addition for this North Jersey group and playing with them has helped him a lot.Stay Tune For Inside Atlantic City featuring All Tournament Team and All The Inside Info
