WOODBRIDGE, Va. – You won’t find many individuals with a better grip on the upcoming talent on the girls basketball landscape than Joe Fenelon and Nicc Jackson. Fenelon (NYGHoops Report) out of New York City and Jackson (Elite Girls Basketball) who calls Southern California home, got together last Friday to offer up the Coast 2 Coast Super 64 Showcase in Northern Virginia. Joining them in the gym was Lisa Bodine of Blue Star and the highly regarded Rites of Passage as well as our own Travis Ponton. With over 100 players on hand representing the 2021 through 2025 classes, there were some promising prospects taking the floor looking to sharpen their games and make a splash in front of some top evaluators.
Travis dropped by on his way to the 5thAnnual USJN East Coast Clash in Baltimore and offered up this quick 11 player snapshot of some of the athletes who caught his eye. To see his coverage from Baltimore, follow the link below.
