The 3rd annual Middle School Elite Texas Camp jumped off on Saturday, November 4th, 2017 at Crossover Athletics in Stafford, Texas near Houston.

Dozens of talented youth basketball players from Texas, 5th-through-8th grade, enthusiastically maximized their potential in arduous drill stations and full court games.

Following the event an excited father expressed, “Thanks for the great camp in Houston this morning and my son said ‘it was fire.'”

“You brought the aggression based on confidence out of him [son], something coach and I haven’t been able to do . . .,” testified another satisfied parent.

Here are some preeminent standouts who earned our attention and entertained for spectators.

8th Grade

MVP David Martinez (TX) – 6-1 versatile guard penetrated defensive gaps with an abrupt step-back jumper or a wicked crossover.

Co-MVP Ziyan Ali (TX) – Crashed boards aggressively and ran fast breaks that had defenders on their heels or called secondary-break plays after made baskets.

Jacob Duran (TX) – Sprained his ankle before, and, during camp. But that didn’t distort his ability to outperform anxious competitors.

Quintin Williams (TX) – Shared the rock, and his jumper has proper mechanics. He performed energetic all day.

Austen Hill (TX) – Fundamentally sound two-guard flustered opposers with change of direction moves, hesitation dribbles, and head fakes.

Blake Morrow (TX) – Rugged spot-up shooter caused havoc on, offense and defense, both ends of the court.

Malik Johnson (TX) – Absorbed rough body contact while driving in the lane, making layups, and protecting the back court.
