- Chris Otule led the Fort Bend Bush Broncos to a playoff victory over Galveston Ball earlier this week, 58-43. The 6'10" Otule led his squad with a team-high 14 points and 10 blocks in the victory. Bush is now 24-8 on the season and plays Northshore on Friday night in the second round of the playoffs.
- Nick Wiliams' LeFlore Rattlers (29-2 overall) are in the midst of a state title defense, and toppped Dothan 67-53 earlier this week. Williams had 11 points in the win. With the victory, Alabama's top-ranked Rattlers earned the right to play Baldwin County in the 6A regional finals on Friday morning where the winner will advance to the state tournament in Birmingham. LeFlore has already beaten Baldwin County three times this season.
- Joseph Fulce continued his dominant play at Tyler JC with a 30 point, 12 rebound effort in the Apaches recent loss to Blinn JC, 76-94. The Apaches fell to 22-2 on the year, losing for the first time in their last nine outings. For a look at Fulce's game by game production on one of the nation's top JUCO teams click here. Despite the loss, the Apaches are off to a record start.
- Finally, set your DVRs tonight -- Tyshawn Taylor and the St Anthony's Friars will appear on ESPN against American Christian Academy, led by super guard Tyreke Evans. Tipoff is scheduled for 8pm CT on ESPN. Here's a quick look at Taylor in action:

Erik Williams is rising fast among the 2009 crop. He is top 50 nationally in many recruitng polls. He's not a big man but at 6'6 he can rebound and is the heir apparent to Lazar Hayward. We really need that kid from Racine I think his name is Jamil Wilson.wgh
ReplyDeleteEric Williams broke his ankle in January. Before he did he was a stud averaging about 19pts and 8 rebs. He'll be a star at Marquette. I think 2009-10 will be MU's best team since the 70's. Hayward will be Senior, Mbakwe will be a stud, Williams is nice, Tayshawn Taylor and Nick Williams will also be stars and Cubillian will be solid. Otule is also coming along as is Fulce. Projected starters: 2009-10
