It might still be August, but it hasn't been 90 degrees in a while, fall sports practices are underway at high schools, and pumpkin is back at Dunkin'... it's fall hoops time!
One of the goals of Empire State Takeover is to continue expanding to provide opportunities to get girls in the gym. Whether it's high schoolers getting after it & playing in front of college coaches or middle schoolers getting after it and playing in a new, different environment to learn, grow, & get better with other athletes both familiar & new, EST aims to continue growing to keep basketball at the forefront of the discussion for girls athletes in the region.

| Jalea Abrams, a participant in both May EST Middle School combines, is already a key piece for Section 4 Class AA power Elmira & is one of the Southern Tier's shining stars. |
With that comes this - a new event for the fall of 2019. After two years of highly successful EST Middle School Combines, it's only right to kick off an event for the region's up-and-comers as the leaves are falling just as there's been a high school event for the last handful of years.
The 1st Annual EST Fall Futures Combine will feature plenty of high intensity, controlled 3v3 & 5v5 play to give athletes ample opportunity to test their ability among many of the region's top young talent. Along with that, an additional skills session will be provided, as has been the case with all previous middle school events & some of the high school ones, to also provide the opportunity to learn & get better in a workout format, adding to the true 'combine' feel. These skill work sessions have traditionally been coordinated by current or former collegiate coaches.
This event will be held on Sunday, September 15 at Mekeel Christian Academy in Scotia (Schenectady area). It'll run from 11:00 AM-2:00 PM, and it's open to all 7th-8th grade girls (Classes of 2024-2025). Cost for the event is $60 (jersey included).

| Avery Mills, already a standout at Mekeel Christian and the league MVP as a 7th grader, was one of the many standouts at May's 2nd Annual EST Middle School Combine. |
The Fall Futures Combine aims to provide a chance for ample evaluation & court time, so registration will be capped at FIFTY ATHLETES. With both previous middle school events having filled to max capacity and high school events consistently attracting over 100 players, I anticipate this inaugural event to fill up quickly!
EST middle school events have proven to be a beneficial stop for many of the region's up and coming ballers, being able to work, learn, get better, & also provide an early measuring stick alongside the top budding young talent. They've housed players of all levels, from those that already have Division 1 offers & top all-state picks to those just finding their love of the game. They have also proven to be a great opportunity for myself & other evaluators to identify young & rising talent at an earlier age, which has been beneficial in the overall evaluation process.

| Mackenzie Owens, a standout at Section VI Springville-Griffith and already a Buffalo News All-WNY performer in 7th grade, had a strong EST debut at the 2nd Annual Middle School Combine. |
