The View From Centercourt

BCANY-ADPRO Showcase

The 7th annual WNY boys high school basketball showcase has been scheduled for October 2nd at St. Mary's High School in Lancaster.  This exposure event is hosted by the Basketball Coaches Association of New York and ADPRO. 

 

Last season, 28 college coaches attended the showcase to evaluate some of the area's top local talent.

 

The showcase is open to all high school players with previous varsity experience.  In each of the previous six years, the showcase has completely sold out.  The showcase will be limited to the first 60 players who register.  The cost is $70 per player, and the deadline for registration is September 27th, in order to get the players information into the college coaches program booklet.

 

For more information, please contact Williamsville South head coach Al Monaco at [email protected] or (716) 997-5946.

Jaysean Paige leaves Jamestown

After leading the Red Raiders to the New York State Class AA championship game last season and garnering WNY Player of the Year honors from both the Buffalo News and this site, Jaysean Paige has transferred out of Jamestown.  The 6-1 senior who dazzled fans last season with an array of 3-pointers, hanging jumpers, and monster dunks, is currently enrolled at Perry County Central High School located in Hazard, Kentucky.

 

 Paige, who transferred to Jamestown prior to the start of his sophomore year, averaged 26.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 2.5 steals per game for the Red Raiders as a junior last season.  He also shot an incredible 58% from the field, while throwing down over 50 slams in 24 games.

 

According to reports, his eligibility to play basketball for the Perry County Central Commodores is pending an official decision from the Kentucky High School Athletic Association.
