Congrats, Coach Allen & Evangel Christian School

We would like to congratulate Evangel Christian School. Squire Coach Marquis Allen led the Eagles to a State Championship. Coach Allen is definately one of the yourngest, if not the youngest coach in Virginia to ever win a State Championship during his first year. Evangel Chrisitian Eagles had a very successful and dominate season. Making history the Eagles were the first private school in their area to ever win a state championship. Squire players James Ford, Michael Gbinije, Calvin Procise, and George Best were key contributors of to the success of the program. Freshman Michael Gbinije led the team with 26 points, 5 assits, 6 rebounds, and 3 steals. Eight grader James Ford, Jr. added 17 points, 8 assists, 4 rebounds, and 3 steals. Calvin Procise and George Best were also very important to the success of the team providing fierce defense, and rebounding. Calvin 'Cj' Procise also another 8th grader that has played with poise the entire year. George Best was 'Mr. Intangible'. His presence was felt in about every category of the game. Again congratulations to the Evangel Christian Eagles.

Squire player is among nation's best players

Eighth-grader among nation's best The Courtland boys basketball team already boasts one of the top sophomores in the country in 6-foot-8 forward Josh Hairston.

Now their junior varsity team is led by 6-foot-4 eighth-grader Justin Anderson, who is considered by some recruiting services as one of the top five players in his grade level in the country.

Anderson is a Spotsylvania Middle School student. His family had to submit a letter to the Spotsylvania school administration so that he could bypass middle school basketball and play junior varsity.

He's been an asset for the Cougars (11-1), averaging 12.0 points per game and providing highlight-reel dunks that have kept spectators arriving early for varsity contests.

Courtland varsity coach J.T. Nino is already excited about pairing Hairston and Anderson next season.

"I do expect him to see a lot of time on the varsity level next year," Nino said.

Nino said Anderson plays every position for the JV Cougars.

He's also proven he can compete with the elite players around the country.

He was the only eighth-grader in the nation invited to the Fab Frosh All-American Camp in Chantilly last summer.

The Web site hoopsreport .com described Anderson as "very bouncy, aggressive to the bucket, and tries to dunk everything in sight."

"If he continues to develop his overall game, this kid could be special," the Web site reported.


Top Basketball Players & Nutrition

Each and every day numerous athletes fall to injuries due to a lack of nutrition. Are student athletes maintaining a balanced diet? Accord to Murray and Horswill (1977) we need 40 different nutrients to function properly. As an athlete it is important to maintain healthy growth, weight control, healthy immune function, optimize metabolism, and maintain the growth of all tissues. Parents, is your student athlete eating a balanced meal each day to optimize their athletic ability or are they the next injury to happen due to a lack of nutrition? See what nutrition they need and what they should steer clear of.


Top Performers Make NBA

It’s no longer good enough to be the best player in your state or region if you plane on having a career in the NBA and in some cases a college career as well. Foreign player are making sure of that (See Story).
