In foul trouble early, a quiet start for @slopebasketball @RiderPortela ignites the Vikings with a huge 3Q along with @Dariuswabb on their way to a 61-57 win over @MillenniumHoops though it was by no means a statement, just January hoops

We may have very well witnessed up to five NBA prospects and double digit division one prospects play on the floor at Sunnyslope tonight.

Media galore, former NBA players and an NBA coach in attendance, multiple high major college coaches, and national spotlight on an AIA basketball game.

What a milestone night for basketball in Arizona and for the AIA.

Moments like this happening at your high school, no prep school pipe dream needed

Sunnyslope coach Ray Portela talks about how big basketball has grown in Arizona

[Pro Insight @_proinsight]

We spoke with @CUBuffsMBB signee Rider Portela at #HoophallWest in AZ and talked about what prepared him for competing at a high level at both the @ClassicAtDamien and @HoophallClassic, how he developed his competitive edge, why chose Colorado, and more (sound 🔊 on).

Was again impressed with Colorado pledge Rider Portela this week. So efficient, really knows how to play, and was particularly impactful on the defensive end of the floor. Huge piece of Sunnyslope’s championship.

Daniel Jones just tore his Achilles.

Why have Achilles injuries have become as common as any other injury all of the sudden?

Feels like starting three years ago, we’ve seen 10-15 players per year tearing Achilles across the NBA & NFL?

What’s going on?

Here is a look at how Maryland’s star center Pharrel Payne was injured.

Brutal.

[Ray Portela @PortelaRay]

Super proud of my kids for all the hard work they have put in and to see it pay off. Josie is signing with @PortlandVBall and Rider is signing with @CUBuffsMBB. The work isn’t done yet, but I am one proud dad!
