WEST PALM BEACH – We had an all-star basketball showcase for both the boys and girls on Tuesday night (March 14) and Wednesday night (March 15) at Keiser University.
Jointly assembled by Rangeman Films and Perseverance Basketball, the two-night clinic featured four games at Keiser’s gymnasium. It highlighted mostly seniors who either have already earned a college scholarship or are seeking one at this time.
The key word is mostly because we saw some junior standouts in action as well.
In short, this was not your typical all-star game. It was quite refreshing to see.
To break this down visually, we will show you highlights from the four games that took place and some commentary for you to watch and see for yourself.
NOTE: The girls showcase was on Tuesday, while the boys showcase was on Wednesday night. There were two games in each night of action.
See all the eight rosters right below.
