 According to Head Coach Matt Lee, his goal of a National Championship just became more attainable
Paris Parks and Justin Wilson garnered their hardwood reputations on Long Island, but Coach Lee feels they'll come to full blossom upstate - in addition to being the missing pieces in his NJCAA program at Herkimer CC. 

"We are very excited to have a student athlete of Paris's ability," Coach Lee said of the 6'0 Parks, who averaged 18 points and 6 assists per game at L.I. public powerhouse Longwood HS. "[Parks] has all the tools we are looking for in a point guard to win a National Championship. In addition to his basketball skills we are just as excited to have Paris Parks the person in our program."

Parks can torch opponents from behind the arc and is a blur in transition, but more importantly, can run the show on offense. The Suffolk County product shares the sentiments of his future head coach.

"I feel like Herkimer is a good fit for me,"said Parks, who also had interest from Farmingdale State, Fredonia, Sullivan, and Mohawk Valley. "I bonded with the coaches and players well and I feel I can help the program just as much as they can help me." 

The Generals will also be aided by the services of a Nassau County guard in Floral Park HS' Justin Wilson. The 6'3 shooting guard (who also played football at Floral Park) possesses the freakish athleticism and deadly touch from outside that can provide a major boost for Herkimer.

"Justin will have a huge impact on our games with his ability to play above the rim and shoot the three," Coach Lee revealed. "His intensity and energy that he will bring to our games will be a key part of our programs success."

The Generals (who participate in the Mountain Valley Conference- Region III) recently acquired two other Long Island talents in Goey Charles (Uniondale HS) and Skylar Moore (Hempstead HS). The 2010-11 Generals posted a decent 22-10 record and the program won one national championship in the past, but the acquisition of Parks and Wilson is what Coach Lee sees as the difference maker.

"Our goal is to win a National Championship and we feel these two players can help us reach our goal."

Congratulations to the 15U Thomas/Buck squad on finishing 5-0 at D1 Regionals. In addition to qualifying for D1 Nationals taking place in July held in Little Rock, Arkansas, they will play the NY Gauchos for NY Metro District championship on Memorial Day for #1 seed to rep NY at Nationals! Great job to: Imani, Marcus, Isaiah, Tommy, Mike, Shaundell, Devin, Tyrell, Nasies, Nykel, Brandon, Tootie and Coach Buck & Coach Thomas.

Congrats to the 15U Walker/Hemby squad on winning their first chip playing in just their second tourney! Great job and support by players, coaches and parents!
