For the second straight year, the Boston Athletes United For Change put together its The Dream is Real Clinic, held at Madison Park High School. It gave a number of kids a look at what they can become down the road as some who grew up in the area helped out at the event.

The Boston Best 40 was smaller this year in number of players but the talent level was good, making it a good event for some young talent in the area.

Long known as the “Sprite Tournament” even now, the Powerade Hardtop Challenge has a new name but the same basic ideas.
