Northstar Basketball Showcase Rankings & Overview
by Alex Schwartz
The Northstar Basketball Showcase featured about 100 ballers, many of whom performed quite well. There were some in specific though, that stood out as the best of the best on that day. For a player to be considered as a top performer, he had to be there for all the games. So, without further ado, here are the Northstar Basketball top performers:
SUPER SEVENTEEN
1. Fuquan Edwin '10, Paterson Catholic (NJ)
2. Khalil Murphy '09, APEX Academies (NJ)
3. Antoine Brown '09, Bishop Loughlin (NY)
4. Jonathan Velez '09, Seneca Valley (NY)
5. Kerry Weldon '10, St. Agnes HS for Boys (NY)
6. Shaq Duncan '10, Prep Charter (PA)
7. Markens Charles '09, The Nia School (NJ)
8. Cameron Badger '09, APEX Academies (NJ)
9. Isaiah Morton '11, St. Augustine's (NJ)
10. Jayon James '10, Paterson Catholic (NJ)
11. Reggie Coleman '09, Trenton Catholic (NJ)
12. Markus Kennedy '10, Living Faith/APEX Academies (NJ)
13. Jerry Coriolan '09, The Nia School (NJ)
14. Jonathan Williams '09, Rice (NY)
15. Lorenzo Freeman '09, Edison Academy (NJ)
16. Shaq Thomas '10, Montclair (NJ)
17. Ryan McCoy '11, Montgomery (NJ)
Of these Super Seventeen, two really stood out as the best of the best. Fuquan Edwin was absolutely fantastic. He dominated play, displaying a great shot and a superb ability to get to the hole. Edwin was basically unstoppable with the ball in his hands, and was the best performer at the Northstar Basketball Showcase. Khalil Murphy was also quite good. He showed off a nice inside-outside game, as he was able to knock down the trey and also play big in the post. Fuquan and Khalil were the class of the event.
HONORABLE MENTIONS- Alphabetical Order by First Name
Anthony Gaffney '11, The Pennington School (NJ)
Bruce Brittingham '11, Trenton Central (NJ)
Eli Carter '10, St. Anthony's (NJ)
Gerard Lloyd '09, Half Hollows Hills West (NY)
Jayson Johnson '11, St. Anthony's (NJ)
Jeanpaul Isaacs '09, South Brunswick (NJ)
Jhamir White '11, Paterson Catholic (NJ)
Joey Gripper '11, Abington Friends (PA)
JP Kourn '??, Unknown (??)
Lamont McClaurin '11, Imhotep Charter (PA)
Marcus Long '11, Archbishop Spalding (MD)
Matt Grossbard '09, Pear River (NY)
Michael Rotando '11, St. John Vianney (NJ)
Pat Dorsey '09, Abington Friends (PA)

Steve Rennard '09, St. Joseph's Metuchen (NJ)
Tywon Clarke '09, Hyde (CT)

These 20 players, along with the Super Seventeen, were the premiere performers at the Northstar Basketball Showcase. The event, which was attended by many college coaches and a number of scouting services, went quite well. A number of lesser known players such as Kerry Weldon and Cameron Badger stepped up and shined, while some of the big names like Isaiah Morton were solid in their own right. The first Northstar Basketball Showcase was a success, and hopefully there will be many more to come.
