The Review: 7th Annual EST Fall Showcase (PM Session)

The review... Part II! Back to the intro:

If you're a basketball enthusiast, October 3 wasn't your typical Sunday in Scranton. Far from it.

Over the course of the day, 106 girls and approximately three dozen college coaches from throughout the Northeast descended upon Riverfront Sports for 2021's installment of the EST Fall Showcase. 54 of those players were responsible for finishing the day off strong in the PM session, which ended up running from approximately 12:30-3 PM. I've spent time each day obsessing over notes/details & breaking down game film, and with that comes a verbal playback of what I was able to witness. The afternoon session review:

All smiles from Alexis Ferguson, Faith Walker, Molly Boek, & Kaelah Carter. They played like this was how they felt, and it translated. Catch all four of them in the writeup below!

The Review: 7th Annual EST Fall Showcase (AM Session)

If you're a basketball enthusiast, October 3 wasn't your typical Sunday in Scranton. Far from it.

Over the course of the day, 106 girls and approximately three dozen college coaches from throughout the Northeast descended upon Riverfront Sports for 2021's installment of the EST Fall Showcase. 52 of those players were responsible for making the event jump from the start, and that they did as a particularly competitive group took the court from approximately 9:30-12:00. I've spent time each day obsessing over notes/details & breaking down game film, and with that comes a verbal playback of what I was able to witness. The AM session review:

Adriana Fontana, who has made her mark & been a consistent presence at EST events in 2021, came through for the Fall Showcase AM session. 

The Note Sheet: A Thursday Night in Troy

October 7, 2021

Technically, there's been a lot of nights in Troy over the past couple months. This is just one that I'm writing about!

I was able to spend last Thursday in the MD Sports Hall gym, home of the 518 edition of EST Summer Run in 2021 among many other things, featuring one of the 518's best AAU programs against one of its best high school teams. Julie McBride & the Albany Capitals, prepping for a Hoop Group event in MA over the weekend, hosted players from Shenendehowa in what was basically a four-team scrimmage (3 from the Caps). A few notes from the night:
