MIDDLE VILLAGE, NY- The much discussed fall evaluation period came and went with, yes, some boycotting from colleges, but more importantly a ton of great basketball being played. In one of the premier showcase events, Joe Fenelon and NYGHoops hosted the Friday Night Lights event at famed Christ the King High School, alma mater of Sue Bird, Tina Charles, and Chamique Holdsclaw, and many more.

Action was simultaneously held on two courts with players getting in back-to-back games within an hour providing maximum exposure to the 60 plus college coaches in attendance. There was plenty of talent for every level, from unsigned 2017 players who will make a difference wherever they end up, to 2022’s that are already on college radars.
