The 1st Annual
CapitolHoops.com All DMV Jamboree is in the books , let's jump straight into
some of the top performers at this year's event. A special thanks goes out to
Arize Ifejeka , Curtis Symonds of Hoop Magic , Eleanor Roosevelt High School and
all of the particpants , coaches and judges that made this event possible.
Jordan Goodman , a 6'8" small forward (formerly Seneca Valley HS ) tallied
22 points and grabbed 9 rebs leading Team Swagger to a victory in the
underclassman game and earning game MVP honors. Goodman has tremendous range for
a 6'8" sophomore but seemed more aggressive last night scoring on some
impressive dunks.
Grandy Glaze 6'6" PF 2011 - The St. John's Catholic Prep star turned in 36pts in
a losing effort for Team Substance. The effort that Grandy plays with is second
to none , and is the reason why several high majors are now on the recruiting
trail. The Canada native is relentless on the boards and gets most of his points
on tough put backs around the basket.
Lamont Huggins
6'8"
PF 2011 - Huggings added 19 points and looks like a
solid prospect from the class of 2011. Lamont also blocked five shots in the
win.
RJ Williams 5'9" PG 2011 - RJ is clearly a floor
leader with a good handle to go along with his leadership skills. Williams
dished out a game high 9 assts in the loss. Williams is quick , can shoot the
three and has a boatload of heart from St. Frances Acadmey.
Tion Coates 6'4" SF 2011
- Tion is an athletic power
forward transitioning into the guard spot. Coates who played primarily power
forward on his Gwynn Park High School team this year , showed some range scoring
on a pair of jump shots but made his living on some athletic jams.
Tyler Hubbard 6'1" SG 2011 - Hubbard who's
strength is shooting the rock , added 18 points in the win. The Montrose
Christian sophomore is returning back to the confident shooter that he was last
last summer when he knocked down six threes leading his MD Bulls over DC
Assault.
Freshman Joe Lundy of Friendship Collegiate (13pts) and eight grade Paul VI
recruit Stanley Robinson (10pts) added solid performances.
Jeremy Williams of Springbrook High School took home the 3pt shootout
championship , and was later selected for a half court shot in which he drained
without any help from the glass. Williams just couldn't miss last night as the
becomes the 1st CapitolHoops.com ALL DMV 3pt champ.
Derrious Gilmore , a 5'10" senior point guard from Princeton Day Academy scored
22pts and dished out 7 assts leading Team Substance Upperclassman to a victory.
Gilmore showed off his handle and stretched the opposing defense knocking down 4
three pointers on the night. Gilmore was the most impressive upperclassman
taking home the game MVP in the process.
Another impressive point guard was Rodney Glasgow of Good Counsel HS who scored
a game high 24pts. Glasgow showed is ability to score the ball , connecting off
the dribble and from deep. The junior guard will play his AAU ball this summer
with Mid-Atlantic Select.
Jonathan Arledje 6'9" PF 2010- Arledje has improved tremendously and is
definitely a sleeper at the power forward spot.
The KIMA standout added 24pts for Team Swagger , has soft
hands in the post and runs the floor well. Arledje also has one of the better FT
percentages opposed to other bigs in his class. Arledje will be on the circuit
with DC Assault this summer.
Dante Thomas 6'3" SG 2010 -
The Ballou HS guard
scored
24pts and showed why he led his DCIAA team to the City
Title game this year. Thomas will play his AAU ball with God's Glory.
Antonio Jenifer 6'6" PF 2010 - Jenifer scored 25
points for Team Substance while nearly bringing down the rim on a monstrous
dunk. Jenifer will join Dante on God's Glory this summer.
Javorn Farrell , despite entering the slam dunk contest two minutes before his
dunk jumped over two people slamming one home. Farrell missed his attempt in the
final round and
Stephan Manga capatilized on a high flying between the legs slam. Manga of
Archbishop Carroll is the 1st Annual CapitolHoops.com All DMV Jamboree Slam Dunk
Champ.
