candlelight05 Posted June 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Great post! Thank you for mentioning top players from the SEAAU 17-U State Basketball Tournament. The top five (5) teams from the state tournament have qualified for the national tournament in July, correct? Also, is this in addition to the teams that have already received automatic bids elsewhere? Gomab2, Are you sending the 16-U Midstate Ballerz to the national tournament with the automatic bid since both the 17U Elite & Select teams qualified at the state tournament? Also, how is Jonathan Dye playing for you on the 17-U Select team and are there any schools showing interest in him at the current time? 17:u State finish: 1) Midstate Ballerz Elite 2) Memphis YOMCA Blue 3) Tennessee Zags 4) Midstate Ballerz Select 5) Memphis YOMCA White 6) Tn Thunder 7/8) Nashville Stallions/ Tn Travelers Navy Top Players from the tourney include: -Take your pick from Ballerz Elite: balanced play -Mo Miller, YOMCA -Najule Ervin, YOMCA -Junile Ervin, YOMCA -Chris Walker, YOMCA -Kevin Lester, YOMCA -Matt Parton, Zags -Jared Laverdiere, Zags -Freeman Pinkney, Ballerz Select -Josh Johnson, Ballerz Select -Jonathon Dye, Ballerz Select -Ryan Pamplin, Ballerz Select -Demarco Stepter, YOMCA White -Demario Wellington, YOMCA White -Wil Peters, Thunder -Wes Adams, Travelers -Dominique Rouse, Stallions -Gershon Jordan, Stallions Note: Mo Miller is the Truth.

RimRecker Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 You got to be kidding. Don't know names but number 24 and 11 played well. 24 did'nt shot well and 11 played soild great defence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlelight05 Posted June 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 #11 is Jordan Dixon, who I consider to be one of the better guards in East Tennessee and #24 is Marq Murden. It seems as if the Ballerz 17-U Select is more focused on playing everyone an equal amount of minutes instead of going out, competing, and trying to win every game. Also, I have heard of players just showing up for the Ballerz 17-U Select who have never practiced or played with the team previously and they have received playing time immediately. It is difficult to build team chemistry when you constantly have new players showing up without practicing with the team. Nonetheless, the 17-U Select team is going to nationals, so they must have some type of team chemistry. You got to be kidding.

mr.giggliefly33 Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 How About # 34 Brandon Evens For Midstate he was another good player there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlelight05 Posted June 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 I apologize, #24 for the Midstate Ballerz 17-U Select currently is Dustin Fathergill, NOT Marq Murden. I was looking at an out-dated roster and not a roster from last weekend's SEAAU State Basketball Tournament. Sorry about the mistake! #11 is Jordan Dixon, who I consider to be one of the better guards in East Tennessee and #24 is Marq Murden.

gomab2 Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Evans played very well, and is currently recieving a lot of High Major interest... #24 is Fothergill. He and Dixon are both outstanding guards on the Select roster... Another guard was added to the Select roster, though he was not able to play Friday and Saturday due to team camp at Miss State (where he dropped 40 points and 9 threes in a game on Friday night in Starkville). LaKeithric will be a nice addition to the Ballerz Select as they head into July... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
