🔥🔥. Go ball out @ashlyn_finch_

[Kenny Nguyen @CoachK_Nguyen]

Basketball is not an equal opportunity sport!

The best shooters will shoot more.

The best dribblers will dribble more.

The best defenders will be on the floor more.

Get your reps up, get better!

First set of games with @FORGELadyBball went great! Thank you to North Greene and @JUTNWBB for hosting, while we went 4-1 on the weekend. I averaged 16 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.6 steals. I love these girls and we'll be back at on Friday at @LeeUWBB!

[East TN Air 2029 - Williams @ETAWilliams]

Always a good day when we get to see some of our girls!! Glad @JonahJackson & I got to see these 4 with their school ball teams today! Can’t wait to get all of our girls back together for July💪 @LangleyEm11 @BellaReagan2030 @MaryKate_2029 @ashlyn_finch_

The goal isn’t just making shots.

It’s understanding WHY they go in.

[Derek Deprey @derekdeprey]

Unpopular opinion…

AAU doesn’t need to lead to college basketball to be worth it.

For a lot of players today, it’s simply part of becoming competitive enough to play varsity basketball.

Not every player is chasing a Division I scholarship. Some are chasing a varsity roster spot. Some want to make the rotation. Some want to help their high school team win. Some just love the game.

And that’s enough!

I think we’ve become too obsessed with using college basketball as the scoreboard for whether a player’s journey was worth it.

What if they never play another organized game after high school?

If they loved the practices… loved the tournaments… loved the road trips… loved the teammates… loved competing…

Wasn’t that valuable too?

Not every basketball journey has to end with a scholarship to be a success.

Sometimes success is simply getting better, building friendships, making memories, learning life lessons, and squeezing EVERY DROP out of a game you love.

If you’re playing on Court 1 or Court 37, play hard.

The love of the game doesn’t care what division you’re headed to.

❤️🏀

Great write up from @FiveStateHoops on our girl @josie_hayn16741 !! @EastTNAir

[Josie Haynes @josie_hayn16741]

Thank you @PGHKentucky @PGHAkeem for the write up!

“Josie immediately stood out while playing up with ETA Air Williams 2029. The first thing that came to mind watching her compete was,"this kid just has it." She showed great poise handling the ball against pressure while avoiding turnovers. Josie also makes an effort on the glass, has high-level instincts defensively, displays a sweet stroke from three-point range, and can finish at the basket. A complete-package guard with an advanced feel for the game at her age, she continues to look like a very promising young prospect.”
