Young talent packed Case Gym on Saturday for the New England Elite 75 Freshman/Sophomore event, and we take a look at some of the players who stood out.
Columns
New Hampton Has Plenty of Guards
One thing New Hampton doesn’t lack is guards, but there is some talent among their tallest players. That’s a good thing since they aren’t very deep up front and may need a lot of minutes from them.
St. Andrew’s Has Class Balance, More Size
St. Andrew’s won’t be as talented this year, but Mike Hart likes the team he has. They will have some good youth and a little more size this time around.
St. Mark’s Has Improved on the Perimeter
As is usually the case, St. Mark’s has plenty of size on its squad this year. But the real development this year comes away from the basket, as the Lions appear to have the best perimeter unit they have had in Dave Lubick’s tenure at the school.
Proctor Academy Tries to Rebuild
Proctor Academy has had some success in recent years, but this season’s team will be small and young after a couple of defections from last year. That means some growing pains could be ahead.
Cushing Has a Veteran Presence
Cushing Academy has been young in recent years, but now has more of a veteran presence.
Talented Notre Dame Prep Gets After It
Notre Dame Prep has plenty of talent, but their effort made their open gym the one with the best basketball thus far.
Northfield Mount Hermon Doesn’t Lack Size
If you’re looking for size, there’s probably not a better place to go than Northfield Mount Hermon as that is their best asset. There is also good depth as well, perhaps as much as the school has ever had.
South Kent Ready to Challenge For Title
As their roster was taking shape in the spring, expectations became high once again for South Kent. It was not without reason, as this team has interchangeable parts in the frontcourt and a pair of point guards who should make this team a contender.
Brewster Has Plenty of Talent Again
The first thing Brewster coach Jason Smith notes about his team is that they have a lot of pieces. They look to have enough of them to be in the hunt for another title this year.
