Not only has the National
Youth Basketball League (NYBL) attracted the majority of the top teams in
the country, the second-year league is also loaded with individual talent. In fact, all of the national player rankings developed
to date are dominated by NYBL participants. Well, this September, the best of
the best will return to Columbus, Ohio to participate in the NYBL All-Star
Weekend and the Buckeye Prep Elite Showcase. For several Ohio kids, they won’t
have far to travel. When the NYBL All-Star game rosters were released earlier
