So we haven’t talked about this kid in a minute. But let’s just say it ain’t (yes ain’t) because he hasn’t been working. A cool 20 points. 17 boards. 7 assist. And this 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾

David King is not normal.
He makes 90% of his layups, around players that are taller, makes his free throws, runs hard, plays with incredible spirit, and watching him battle against D1 football prospect Ty Gordon, shows his strength. Los has been raving about him for years!

MOST IMPROVED PLAYER in our program, and a NEED for every college program! Relentless work ethic, competitor, and possesses a unique understanding of advance offense and defensive concepts.
Higher Level 17U Premier - Jordan Radford (2020 CG - Battlefield HS) college interest is picking up! Had a solid LIVE period week, attacking the rim, connecting on 3s and becoming a lockdown defender. Incredible character guy and exceptional kid!
“

always shows up with a hard hat and lunch pail.”
6’6 G/F (Battlefield HS 2020) Trevor Bounds has emerged as one of the best players in our area. D1, D2 & D3 programs inquiring about this Swiss army knife! Kid has a great mind for the game, ultimate competitor.
Great Video piece that highlights the passion that Coach Darius has for the game and especially for the kids trying to learn the game and take their game to a HIGHER LEVEL‼️‼️ Hear what parents and players have to say!!!
