The Basketball Spotlight MDC 11U Division has been a pleasant surprise this year. #1 ECE-NJABC will not be in the building so we are looking to see who will be ready to step up. Here’s a look at the squads that will be in Lakewood.
Basketball Spotlight MDC 11U
Preview
Playtime: PP has a few state crowns under their belt now they will be looking to win their second Spotlight banner. They have a thick field but they are definitely battle tested. Team Nelson: TN is hungry for a crown after pushing #1 ECE-NJABC to double overtime during the Mid Atlantic finals. They have enough weapons to make it to Hoop Group Headquarters on Sunday. Potomac Valley Select: I hear this is a super squad coming up from the Potomac Valley. Now they will be trying to represent to the fullest. It will be interesting to see how they mesh in this atmosphere. CJ Hawks: The Hawks have been hovering around the championship round all season. Now might be the time for them to make the break through. Beyond The Lines: This Lakewood based crew will have the home court advantage and will need it as they make their Spotlight debut.

The Record
A few years ago, a group of fathers in Teaneck and Hackensack decided they needed to do something to help students prepare for high school — and the rest of their lives. 
SCOTT CHENNAULT/SPECIAL TO THE RECORD
John Judkins running the ball with teammates Coleman Chennault and Jayden Lemond behind in a Playtime Panthers game. The team won the state championship in their age group.
"The kids needed us," said Mike Richardson. They formed a basketball team, but there was a catch: To play, a boy had to have a C-plus or better average. Those who didn't had to come to practice 30 minutes early for tutoring. The boys didn't seem to mind the extra work as long as they got to play ball. In fact, the kids from all over Bergen and Passaic joined. Today, they are doing well in school. They are also doing great on the court. The Playtime Panthers are state champions — again. The 9U team won their state AAU championships in late April, earning a spot in the nationals this summer. On Sunday, the 11U team won its own state title. "It was a great game," said one of the players, Shai Williams, an 11-year-old Teaneck resident. The team will also compete against the nation's top teams this summer. "It was a well-fought game," Richardson said of the 53-38 win over the Central Jersey Hawks on Sunday. He coaches both the 9U and 11U teams. Now comes the hard work. "We have to prepare ourselves for the games ahead," said Richardson, a Teaneck resident who has a son on the 9U team. "We have to represent." Tuesday, April 24

Jordan McCoy Guard (Playtime)- When you watch McCoy play you can see potential written all over this youngster. He’s a fluid wing guard already and has a nice deep range jumper. I look forward to watching McCoy and Hoggard battle for years to come.
Akrum Ahemed Forward (Playtime)- Akrum operated inside for the NJ State Champs. He used the glass well and dribbled past the shot blockers. His inside play helped Team Nelson make their late rally.him.
Makhi Moore Guard (Playtime)- Moore is a good ball handler while running the show for the Panthers. He does a good job of not turning over the pill and getting his teammates involved.

Playtime Cruised To The Championship
Boubacar Kamissoko Guard (Playtime)- This kid lived on the fast break. He leaked out several times for uncontested layups. In the half court set he attacked from the wing and used twisting finishes to earn points. He also can be deadly from behind the arc. He had a huge weekend scoring the ball.
JJ Jinwright Guard (Playtime)- This was my first time checking out this kid and I like the tools he possess. He joined Boubacar in being a major problem in transition. I like the wiggle in his game and his ability to finish. I see him moving over to the point guard position. 
Lydell Geffard Forward (Playtime)- The developing forward has great size and a soft touch but what really impressed me was the way he threw the outlet pass. Lydell made life very easy for his streaking teammates by hitting them with Joe Montana type long passes. On defense he blocked or altered several shots that led to easy buckets on the other end.
Mike Watkins Guard (Playtime)- Playtime has a load of scoring but Watkins controls the flow and makes sure the rock gets shared equally. Instead of using flash Watkins is a crafty guard that relies on his basketball IQ to get the job done.
Clash For The 10U Recap: Team Takeover Prevails over PLAYTIME
Jahmir Young and Jason Gibson scored 9 points apiece as Team Takeover defeated Playtime Panthers 35-27 to win the Clash For The Cup 10U Championship. Jordan McKoy scored 7 points for Playtime in the loss.
Top Performers
Jordan McKoy Forward (Playtime)- McKoy was a problem all tournament because at his size he still can handle the rock and score like a guard. He has good range on his outside shot and will go inside to snatch a few boards. He should a good one in the future.
Makhai Moore Guard (Playtime)- Playtime has an up and coming guard in Moore. He gets anywhere he wants on the floor and will hit teammates on the move with the correct pass. We will be keeping an eye on this baby baller.
Murad Mostafa Forward (Playtime)- Murad battles hard on the blocks and will give you a spin move or two to get buckets. He does all the dirty work for the Green and Black.
Team Takeover 10U Champs
Jason Gibson Guard (Team Takeover)- Gibson is a cleaver ball handler and can also shoot the pill. He thrives in the open floor by pushing the rock and looking for teammates. This kid has a lot of heart and passion for the game. He has major swagger.
Jahmir Young Guard (Team Takeover)- The southpaw is a showman. He has a good crossover for a player so and he even likes to use the fake pass in transition. He has some swift moves and craftiness in his game already. He’s exciting to watch.
Garrett Kirkland Guard (Team Takeover)- Kirkland is a hard nose guard with some good guard skills. He likes getting out on the break and doing his thing while also being able to shoot from deep. He scored a game high 17 points against T Town Ballers.
