Jamil Elliott - Triple Threat Player of The Week
Jamil aka “Twin” is a combo guard that plays for our 12U team, both on the AAU circuit as well as in the local Philly recreational leagues. Jamil is a deadly shooter and leads the team in 3 point percentage. Jamil, his brother Jalil and Josh Sharkey have wreaked havoc on opposing teams defensively with a suffocating press that opposing guards have come to fear. In a recent city rec game, where our 12U team won 59-28 over the Philly Rockets, Jamil sank 4 key three point baskets in the lopsided victory.Jamil a 7th grader at Wissahickon Charter School, is also a terrific student. He participated in the statewide spelling be in 2009 and did very well. Watch out for “twin”, he has a great future ahead of him, on the court and off.

Philly Triple Threat at Clash For The Cup
All 3 of our boys teams took a trip up the turnpike to play in the Clash For The Cup tournament in Neptune, NJ which was organized by Basketball Spotlight (www.bballspotlight.com). It was a very competitive tournament which featured some of the top teams from up and down the east coast. Our 11U boys advanced to the championship but lost a close game to Team Battle. The boys played hard all weekend and represented Philly Triple Threat to the fullest. Our 12U and 13U teams also played hard, however fell short in Pool Play. Congrats to the 11U team MVP Trevon Duval and to Khalil Parker who walked away with tournament sportsmanship award.
