“There may be people who have more talent than you, but there’s no excuse for anyone to work harder than you do.” - Derek Jeter; Head Coach: @coachlieske
JJ Jankowski (Valparaiso H.S. 2028) has finished well against the size, length, and athleticism of Garner Road 16u in this matchup.
The 6’0” guard for Breakaway Basketball 16u scored via back-to-back floaters that he created from attacking closeouts.
Skilled guard.
