Arizona Middle School Showcase Recap

By Chad Groth | January 23, 2012

The 5^rd Annual Arizona Middle School Basketball Exposure Showcase was held January 22, 2012 at Phoenix College just minutes from downtown Phoenix.

Area Codes Basketball presented this event which featured 196 middle school basketball players from Arizona and a few from California. “It’s great to catch all the top young talent play at a high level before high school, this is a very special group”, said Paul Dean, publisher from www.westcoasthoopsreport.com

Special thank you to the many scouting services and websites in attendance that supported this event such as Jeff Meadows of www.hoopsreport.com, Pra Murthy of www.pointguardu.com, Vernon Holmes of www.xdspn.com , Chris Ramirez of www.roundballdirect.net as well as www.areacodesbasketball.com and www.ihoops.com.

Kodi Justice a high school sophomore at Dobson High School talked about playing in exposure events and why he committed to Arizona State a few months ago. Sid Sharma one of the best athletic trainers in the country who runs www.explosive-athletes.com talked about athletic performance off the court. Carolyn Moos a former USA Basketball player and Stanford University/WNBA player talked about health and nutrition, her website is www.carolynmooss.com

Dozens of players made a name for themselves on this day. Let’s look at the eye catchers after the 18 games. Also special thanks to www.Dunkdog.com who sponsored t-shirts to all the players. DunkDog.com is a brand new website to launch in a couple of weeks.
