Jordan has amazing physical and mental quickwittedness for her age, and writes left-handed although shoots righty.

She practices her jump shot by aiming her elbow at the rim and following through with her fingers pointed inside the basket.

Lewis’ spends academia time at Bill J. Elliot Fort Worth. As a Student Council representative, she made B Honor Roll and earned the Citizenship Award.

Jordan seeks a scholarship offer from the University of Texas to play sports and to become a sports agent.

Emperor Releford

3rd grade/2028 class point-guard Jaylon Releford (TX) attends Lowery Elementary, amassing B’s and C’s.

Since age four, Releford has been obsessed over basketball and eager to refine his artistry.

Releford told his mother he wants to mirror the King LeBron James, so she applied temporary tattoos on his body.

“And he did not disappointment.”

This tenacious defender is symmetrically ferocious with or without the rock.

Besides ballin’, Releford’s divertissements include playing video games, collecting rocks and watching animal shows.

“As a person he loves to make people laugh and usually is the clown of the group.“

Jaylon will prefer a college soon, and if not the NBA or NFL, Jaylon wants to be a veterinarian.

“He is kind and generous but don’t cross him.”

Soldiery Crittendon

2026 PG Jaylen Crittendon from San Antonio, Texas, is a benevolent passer and clutch player on and off the court.

Crittendon gleans knowledge at Metzger Middle School, amassing a 3.5 GPA.

Jaylen’s father, a former three-year U.S. Army basketball player, inspired him to partake in the competitive 5-on-5 sport.

Because his undaunted forerunner was wounded during action in Afghanistan, Jaylen receives onerous training instructions from Coach John Collin at the Champion Sportsplex.

Jaylen also resolved to perfect his craft opposed to showcasing his militaristic endowment as well as natural talent.

As a result, Jaylen lost hype momentum and then disappeared from the exposure map.

“He has encountered not being recognized.”

Nevertheless, after his stellar performance at the BallIsLife Jr. Camp in Colorado this past summer, sixth-grade Crittendon has regained the national spotlight.

And Jaylen seeks a full-ride scholarship to either Oklahoma State, Texas, or Baylor University.

War survival, character, and athlete-tips imparted to Crittendon inspirits him to be a devoted student athlete.

“. . . not an athlete student.”

Pendergast along with his dad commute an hour and a half to and fro workout sessions.

“Living in a small town means lots of travel for opportunities.”

Oftentimes, Pendergast trains with proficient basketball instructors such as, Quincy Caldwell, Brett Hested and Micah Lancaster.
