| Idris Lawrence-Middle School MVP |
On Saturday, the 19th edition of Richard
Crockett’s All-Star Saturday event tipped off at the Bruce Howard Recreation
Center in Columbus. One of a 5-game slate on the day, the Middle School game
was one of the most competitive, as the West squad prevailed 59-55 over the
East. Leading the way for the West was Idris Lawrence (PG/2021), who led the
West in scoring with a game-high 14 points.
Behind Lawrence in scoring were Jalen
Sullinger (11), Jake Lusk (8), Jordan Lowrey (7), TJ Pugh (7) and Peter
Pedrozo (7). The East team was led
in scoring by Omari Effiong, who finished with a team-high 13 points, followed
by Marcus Stewart (11), Paul Wilson (10), Tyreese Hughley (10), Carter Jones (6),Wil Sizer (6), and Pat
Daniels Jr. (2).
Lawrence wasn’t the only MVP on the day, as Austin Bennett’s game-high 24 points earned
him MVP honors of the High School game. Others playing well in the game
included Debaji Walker (23 points),
who was a dunking machine, Matt Smith
(23 Points), and Antonine Blackshear
(22 points). We would be remised if we
didn’t mention the body Bennett caught in the waning minutes of the High School
game, when Bennett cocked it back and totally folded his jumping defender to
the ground, undoubtedly, one of the best plays we’ve ever seen!
Talia Shaw’s
game-high 24 points led the Girl’s East squad over the West 28-13. For her efforts, Shaw was selected as MVP. We
also really liked Shaw’s teammate, Kasie
Burnside, who poured in 18 points of her own. In the 5-8 year old game, Khalil Terry took home MVP honors,
while Dominique Aekins was the MVP
in the 9-13 year old game. All-in all, it was a great day of hoops, and from
all appearances, everybody in attendance enjoyed themselves!
