Dusty May says the quickest way to destroy a team is by competing against the people in your own locker room
“There was never any envy. There was never jealousy. These guys were each other’s biggest fans.”
“That’s one thing we want to bring here. We want to be each other’s biggest fans. And each other’s promoters.”
“It creates a really healthy environment when we’re not competing against the guys we’re in the locker room with. We’re competing together against everyone else.”
Huge thanks to @OntheRadarHoops and @SHReportLive for the opportunity to compete in both Session 1 & Session 2. The exposure, competition, and evaluation were invaluable for our program.
Proud to see our players recognized throughout the weekend:
🏀 Ashton Jones (’29) – 24-point performance and earning a reputation as a lockdown defender who can score.
🏀 Johod Lovett (’30) – Praised for his touch around the basket, relentless rebounding, and creating extra possessions.
🏀 Devontae Hill (’30) – Recognized for his poise, court vision, and ability to control the game as a lead guard.
We grew, competed, and learned against outstanding talent. We’re excited to continue building on this experience and look forward to future events.
One Team. One Standard. One Goal. 🏀🐾

“I need you to listen to me.”
Mitch Johnson got on Carter Bryant… then sent him straight back out there.
That’s the part people miss.
Correction without trust just creates fear.

Ashton Jones | Class of 2029
Team EYA OTR | Benjamin E. Mays
Ashton Jones @ashton_21_jones has an elite skill set and a polished overall game that stands out on any court. His advanced ball-handling allows him to create his own shot with ease, and he has no hesitation pulling up for a three on the fast break—draining five threes in his standout performance. He’s just as dangerous off the catch, making him a constant scoring threat without needing the ball in his hands. Defensively, Jones stays active and aggressive, applying pressure and making plays. His versatility and confidence make him one of the top young guards to watch. #OTRCircuit

Young players. Let this statement sink in
“Players who have talent, but don’t have the work ethic eventually get surpassed by players who are less talented - who have a great work ethic.” - Kobe Bryant
Work hard or get passed

@NGSHoops 2029 Ashton Jones for Team EYA (GA) played up 2 age groups in the 2027 division and made a significant impact. His ability to shoot the ball, create plays and perform under pressure is impressive for someone his age. Very polished young guard prospect w/ pure scoring ability.
You’ll never achieve anything great in life without taking risks. Playing it safe is the quickest road to mediocrity. No matter how many times you fail, you need to keep taking risks until you succeed!
Narrative control is how systems maintain soft power without open conflict.
If they can’t break your talent, they’ll mute your platform.
If they can’t discredit your wins, they’ll deny your reward.
If they can’t defeat your energy, they’ll isolate your example.
Because once one sovereign success becomes visible… the people realize they were never locked out, they were locked in.
Middle school AAU Basketball. Kids with bad attitudes, kids playing bad basketball, coaches with bad attitudes, parents with bad attitudes, coaches co-signing bad bball. Are there any other options out here? No wonder they come into HS with all the bad habits of bad basketball.
