| 8th Grade Top 20 All-Star Game Winners |
For most
players, parents and coaches, making the all-star game at an elite event Like
the Buckeye Prep Elite Showcase is the primary goal. Sometimes elusive, an all-star game selection
often fills a player, parent and coach with enormous pride, and for many, helps
keep their hoops dreams alive. On the other hand, failure to make the all-star
game is often met with disappointment, anger, frustration and suspicion of the
process.
To the
players who made the cut this weekend, congratulations, but keep working! For the players who failed to reach their
goals this weekend, I would suggest you keep working as well and use your
disappointment as motivation for your next opportunity! To my parents, I would suggest you not fall
into the “blame game,” but rather challenge your child to work harder and to
take responsibility for how they faired this past weekend. I think to do
anything else only serves as a crutch for your child and could stunt his
development and desire to play the game.
As I stated
in my opening remarks, making the all-star game at an event like the Buckeye
Prep Elite Showcase is great, but it’s not the only benefit of attending, and
should not be the deciding factor in your overall satisfaction with the event. Below is a link to the all-star game rosters
for the 4 divisions at the event. Highlighted in red are the Top 5 Award
winners and MVPs. Congratulations to all
of the players who made the game!
