8th grade rec player hits 15 threes!
In my second rec game last night, an 8th grade boy hit 15 out of 20 three pointers! This was on a MS gym, so the line is a little shorter than HS, but not by too much. Most were from out top, not from the corner and only three of them hit the backboard. The rest were swish. His team kept running a play that wound up kicking the ball out to him and he just buried it. He had nine of them in the first half. It was astonishing to watch.
Oh yeah, his team won by nine, so his "extra" points really mattered. BTW - unless he gets "recruited" by a private school, next year he'll attend my local HS. The kid is a little taller than me (who isn't? - I'm 5'10") and played pretty good defense, too. I can see him at shooting guard on the freshman team next year. Or maybe higher up.
