More than 100 college coaches from around the country descended on South Shore HS in Brooklyn on April 18, 2009 for the 13th Annual Big Apple Sports college exposure event. Some 120 aspiring college players participated in the event, displaying their talent and skills across the three courts on which simultaneous games were conducted.
During the event the college coaches submitted ballots of their top five players to participate in the All-Star Game held at the end of the afternoon. The top vote-getters were Javier McKenzie, a 6-4 swingman from Food & Finance HS, and Isiah Stokley, a 6-3 combo guard from Thomas Edison HS. McKenzie, who averaged 21.3 points and 12.5 rebounds this past season, already has accepted a full scholarship from Florida-Jacksonville. Stokley led Edison to the PSAL "AA" quarterfinals with averages of 25.4 points, 10.9 rebounds and 3.9 assists.
Others selected for All-Star honors were: Dwight Gist (6-0 point guard from Brooklyn Collegiate), Travon Smith (6-3 wing from Anacostia DC), Chad Dillard (a 6-4 forward from Rochester Gates Chili), James Wolf (6-4 forward from Francis Lewis), Jamal Williams (6-3 wing from Pacific), Corey Staley (a 5-10 combo guard from Sheepshead Bay), Davon Walls (6-7 forward from Abraham Lincoln), Dyrek Jones (6-6 forward from Bedford Academy), Chris Ansomwire (6-9 forward from Harcum JC) and Reggie Baptiste (6-6 forward from Fashion Institute).
