Will NJABC Leave With The Crown?The Inaugural Baby Baller MLK Classic will take place this weekend and it should be a dandy. Basketball Spotlight will be giving our total focus to these youngsters so expect coverage on both days. Here’s a preview of the teams and players headed to Atlantic City.
Baby Baller MLK Classic Preview
11U Division
ECE-NJABC: This team has to be the odds on favorite while possessing one of the meanest backcourts in the region (Jalen Gaffney, Anthony Hoggard). They tasted the winners circle at the Tip Off Classic and would like to go back for a second helping in AC.
Playtime Panthers: NJABC stood in Playtime’s way of winning the Tip Off Classic but chances are they might meet again. Jaheim Tanksley and Jordan McKoy headline a scrappy squad with a wealth of experience.
Team Nelson: TN is ready to prove they are the team to beat even after losing a few quality pieces. Now the stage is set from them to let everyone know that they still reign supreme.
Team Rebels: TR will be making their 2012 debut with one of the toughest backcourts around. The trio of Justin Money, Zahree Harrison and Darrien Dalcourt will be holding this down in AC.
MABC: The Boston boys will travel a long way are not trying to waste their gas. The Bengals are known to bring tough teams and this one should not be an exception.
NWK: The Brick City will be represented with this group. I haven’t seen them but expect to see a scrappy crew that pushes the rock end to end.
