TEAM G.O.O.D. Win D1Spects River City Classic 9th Grade Division
Jacksonville, Florida
One Down!!!
Team G.O.O.D. went down I-95 to Jacksonville, Florida to participate in D1spects River City Classic. Displaying hard nose defense and fast pace basketball, Team G.O.O.D. was able to bring back the first place trophy.
Arriving in Jacksonville Friday afternoon the team was very anxious and ready to play. This been the first tournaments of the year most of the players had butterflies and the coaches didn’t know what to expect.
In the first game Friday night the team came out and played defense like a 90′s Duke team. All 12 players went and put their all on the court. Before you knew it Team G.O.O.D had a 30+ point lead on their opponent. They won the game by 28 points. The coaches were glad to see by them putting extra emphasis on defense it worked out for the best.
Saturday the team had a early game. Facing the host team the coaches knew they needed to see the same team from Friday night, with the same intensity.
We came out ready to play, but lack the defense intensity from the night before. Not only did we play at a slower pace but we hurt ourselves with turn overs and fouls. We had 18 turnovers in the first half and the opposing team was in the bonus. With the careless mistakes we still stuck in the game until the last minute, we ended up loosing by 10 points.
Saturday wasn’t a good day we lost another close one by 1 point. ( HIGHLIGHTS and GAMES COMING SOON )
Long story short Team G.O.O.D. came out Sunday and redeem their selves played hard and was able to revenge their one point lost. They won the championship game by 2 points in overtime to the team they lost to by 1 point the night before.

Raquan doesn’t have the nickname ”Bunny” for no reason. The leaping ability this kid has and his patent Euro Step move, I’m sure he’s going to be on a lot of highlight reels on Youtube.

Jerrell is a 3/4 player with the ability to become one of the most recruited players in the class of 2014 in South Carolina. He has the size and moves to play inside the paint but also have the dribbling and shooting ability to play on the wing. A kid thats not near finish growing has the chance to work on his game and become a Lamar Odom type player. I look forward to watching this kid basketball growth through his high school career.
Delton is a special talent that has not been tap yet. He have the power of a legit center, shooting ability of a 3/4 player and free throw shooting of a point guard. He have the ability to become the number one center in the state of South Carolina for the class of 2014 and one of the top players in the country. He also have the ability to be a top prospect in football I look forward to watching this kid growth in his high school career.
Jaleni is a player with a heart that every coach wish they can put in all their players. Jaleni has a secret weapon to his game, his size. Players underestimate him by his size and end up getting torched on the court. With a fearless heart, driving game and mid range jump shot he have the ability to take his basketball career as far as he would like. I look forward to seeing this kid surprising a lot more people this high school season.
TEAM GOOD 2012
